Why was the Continental Congress unable to provide the army with proper equipment? The Congress could not levy taxes. The British blockade kept equipment from reaching the army. Congress could not find an adequate source of supplies.

The congress  could not effectively levy taxes. The congress was so short of cash it took them years to pay soldiers after the war ended.
