Answer:

YES the national government could regulate the trade of the different states

Step-by-step explanation:

The Articles of confederation was a written document that served as the first constitution of the United states of America. this constitution was drafted in June 1776 after the 13 colonies defeated the British in America to gain independence as United states of America.

Under the Articles of Confederation the delegation of powers and order of Governance by the central government was listed out as Articles. although the states retained majority of their powers as independent states in alliance with each other, the National Government regulated trades of the different states especially inter state trades and international trades as provided in Article VI that states " only central Government can commit foreign, commercial,political relations"

Answer:

Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government could regulate the trade of the different states in majority of decisions, amendments etc

Step-by-step explanation:

Pinckney of South Carolina suggested the revision of the Confederation Articles by Congress in May 1786. By appointing a panel to draft changes to the Articles, Congress responded. On 7 August 1786, those amendments have been drawn up by the committee, written mainly by the chairman, Pinckney. Pursuant to Articles of Confederation, power of central government remained quite limited.

The Congress of Confederation could take decisions, but there was a lack of enforcement powers. The implementation of majority of decisions, including amendments, required the universal approval of legislature of all 13 states.
