Question

Which of the following was NOT a problem in our country during the Articles of Confederation?

A) Congress could not issue a national currency
B) There was no central authority to negotiate treaties with other countries
C) Congress could force states to follow laws they passed
D) Congress had no authority to collect taxes

Answer 1

The Articles of Confederation did not give Congress the power to force states to follow laws they passed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is C) Congress could force states to follow laws they passed. During the Articles of Confederation, the national government had limited authority. While the Confederation Congress had the power to exchange ambassadors, make treaties, and declare war, it did not have the authority to force states to follow laws they passed. This meant that the national government lacked the power to enforce its laws.
