Question

What would happen Under the Articles of Confederation, if the need for a national improvement, such as an interstate road, arose?

A- the states could be ordered by the federal government to fund and resource the project
B- the federal government could raise taxes from states to pay for improvements
C-the federal government could ask for help from states, but they could refuse
D-the states could be forced to contribute to a federal fund to pay for improvements

Answer 1

I think the answer would be C because the federal government could ask for help from other states, but the other stated could refuse.

Answer 2

I think the answer would be C-the federal government could ask for help from states, but they could refuse.

This is because, under the Articles of the Confederation, the states are not unified under one leader. Aside from that, they do not collect taxes during this time. Even if the federal government would raise the issue, many states would possibly say No. Aside from that, there were many states were suffering from economic disorganization.
