Question

Match this weakness of the Articles of Confederation to the outcome it caused: The federal government could not collect taxes. A. The federal government had no income. B. Trade disputes between states were created. C. State governments made their own laws. D. The federal government could not settle disputes.​

Answer 1

Answer: A. The federal government had no income.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Articles of Confederation created was the first Constitution of the United States and it created a very weak federal government because the states did not want a situation where a central authority would abuse its power as the British had done.

One of the ways the Articles made the Federal government weak was by refusing it the power to collect taxes. The federal government had to rely on states giving it money which was not done as often as it should have been and resulted in the federal government virtually having no income.
