According to the video, the ability to declare war was one of the strengths of Congress which was given to it by the Articles of Confederation.
Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation served like a constitution before the actual constitution was born. It entitled the Congressmen to take necessary decisions in favor of the union. These decisions included the one to declare war in order to keep the independence of the confederation unharmed. It also bestowed certain responsibilities upon the Congressmen which had to be carried out as their duties.
Articles of Confederation were abolished in 1787 and the present constitution was brought to effect in 1789. The reason behind abolishing the Articles of Confederation was that it dispensed more power to the state governments than to the federal government. Though the Articles of Confederation were replaced by the Constitution, the power to declare war remained with the Congress.
