John Dickinson, a delegate from Delaware, wrote the drafted. It allowed congress to declare war, create alliances, appoint military officers and foreign ambassadors. It did not, however, give them the authority to impose taxes; the states have that power, couldn’t coin money, weren’t able to add any amendments without the approval of all 13 states.
