Answer:

D A weak central government did not have the power to tax the states.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Articles of Confederation gave too much power to the individual states too much power as apposed to the government. The states didn't have to pay taxes to the government, which is why the government scrapped the Articles and made the new Constitution.
