The statement the articles of confederation gave a president the power to execute laws and veto legislation is false.
Explanation:
The very reason behind opting to replace the "Articles of Confederation" was that they created an imbalance of power by vesting more power in the hands of the state governments. There are no provisions provided by Articles of Confederation for an executive branch.
The President and the Federal government functioned with very little authority and were greatly under powered. The President almost functioned like a nominal head.The legislature holds the executive power under the "Articles of Confederation".
