Answer choices are :


A. Only the federal government could print money.

B. Congress printed different types of money.

C. Each state was allowed to print its own money.

D. State governments were not allowed to print money.


Correct answer choice is :


C) Each state was allowed to print its own money.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1790 the United States was overwhelmingly a farming community. Small, sovereign family farms controlled New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, while cities like New York and Philadelphia were developing into large, major trade centers. Related to the North an even greater dimension of the southern population lived on farms. One major contrast between the North and South was that southern agriculture was regarded by the foundation of slavery, which was on its way to being banned in the northern states.
