Question

Revolutionary War?

a: it lacked a process to coin more money
b: it lacked a way to give value to the continental dollar
c: it lacked a means to raise an army to protect the frontier
d: it lacked a provision for raising money through taxation

Answer 1

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It lacked a provision for raising money through taxation.

The central government was unable to collect taxes in order to support its activities. The Confederation depended on the states' voluntary efforts to deliver tax money to the central government in order for the government to function. Because of a lack of resources, the central government was unable to sustain a viable military or to support its own paper currency.
