Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Other than the taxes that the states were supposed to supply, Congress had no independent source of revenue with which to repay its creditors . Because many individual states had their own debts from the war, they were typically more inclined to pay those first before contributing to repayment of the national debt.
