Answer:

No the congress cannot resolve this.

Step-by-step explanation:

The article of confederation was drafted in 1778 and it was an agreement that existed between 12 original states of the united States of America in the first constitution.

Im The article, it is stated that legislature that is the congress cannot ask former colonies for money.

To pay back money from the french, the government would have to ask states for money from time to time. The congress lacks the right to collect money from states and states cannot conduct foreign policy.

The article states that congress cannot ask the former colonies for money.
