Step-by-step explanation:
From this letter, it is clear that the big problem causing difficulty in the early states is the lack of attendance and participation of some states in Congress. Rufus King states that since October, only nine states have been on the floor, and it is uncertain when they will have nine again. He also mentions that many of the states care so little about the Union that they take no measures to keep a representative in Congress. This lack of attendance and participation is causing Congress to be ineffective, and the desired effect of passing resolutions and sending letters to the deficient states is not being achieved.
