Question

Under the articles of confederation, how did the national government fund its programs

Answer 1

Under the articles of Confederation, the National government had to ask the states to raise funds whenever they needed them.

Answer 2

The national government had just a single branch, the Confederation Congress, in which each state had one vote.

The necessities for passing measures were very high: nine of the thirteen states needed to affirm a measure for it to pass. Revising the Articles themselves was significantly harder: every one of the thirteen needed to cast a ballot for a change.
