Answer 1

The Articles of Confederation did not allow Congress to tax the nation, which caused debt issues.

Step-by-step explanation:

Congress was powerless, most power went to the states. Therefore, Congress couldn't stop states from printing money, couldn't stop money from losing it's value, and couldn't regulate prices. They also couldn't collect taxes, which put the nation into even more debt.
