Question

Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government could?

1) Regulate Indian affairs
2) Levy taxes
3) Regulate commerce
4) Establish a national judicial system

Answer 1

Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government had the power to tax, maintain an army and navy, regulate trade and commerce, and establish laws regulating naturalization and bankruptcy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Congress was given great power, including the power to tax, maintain an army and a navy, and regulate trade and commerce. Congress had authority that the national government lacked under the Articles of Confederation. It could also coin and borrow money, grant patents and copyrights, declare war, and establish laws regulating naturalization and bankruptcy. Only those men elected by the voters to represent them could impose taxes upon them.
