Final answer:

The Articles of Confederation did not include an executive led by a president. They focused on preserving state power and lacked the ability to collect taxes for national defense.


Explanation:

One of the characteristics that was NOT part of the Articles of Confederation was an executive led by a president. The Articles did not establish a national executive branch or a single head of state.

Instead, the Articles emphasized preserving state power and had limitations on the national government's authority, such as the inability to collect taxes to fund a national defense.
