Question

Which one of the following provisions was part of the first draft of the Articles of Confederation submitted to the Second Continental Congress?

a. Appointment of George Washington as commander of the Continental Army
b. Limited and restricted functions for the central government
c. Denial of the right for Congress to levy taxes
d. Government control over the unsettled western lands

Answer 1

It would be "c. Denial of the right for Congress to levy taxes" that is the best option from the list, since this aspect of the Articles made the central government very ineffective--leading to the eventual creation of the Constitution.
