SOLUTION  

Good morning professor & class,

One of the biggest problems with the Articles of Confederation was the National Government had no right to tax the citizens Only the states could tax their own residents. This meant the National government had to ask for donations to keep itself running which led to a weak central government. Congress also could not regulate trade under the Articles of Confederation. To import foreign goods or attempting to make money by selling goods overseas was prohibited. This led to a poor new America.

The Articles of Confederation was the first national constitution which was created to replace royal authority. One main problem that was faced while proposing the Articles of Confederation was the agreement of passing consent of all nine states. Also noted, is that acts put forward through this matter ultimately were only as strong as the states who chose to enforce them. …please click the purchase button below to access the entire solution at $5
