Answer:

Only states could raise taxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Congress was in charge of the other constitutional problems like picking president, making laws against trading. Even today our national government is still having trouble paying debts and expenses, especially with Donald Trump, our 45th president, who prides himself on being a wealthy businessman.
