Question

Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government could regulate the trade of the different states.

Answer 1

Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress lacked the authority to regulate commerce, making it unable to protect or standardize trade between foreign nations and the various states.

Answer 2

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the first Constitution of the United States. It was replaced by the current constitution because the Articles created such a weak central government that enabled the country to organize and solve some problems. The Central Government was represented by the Congress which had the power to declare war, to appoint military officers, to sign treaties, make alliances, appoint foreign ambassadors and manage relations with Indians. Congress did not have the power to regulate trade.
