Answer:

Congress could not regulate interstate trade is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The articles of confederation was the first constitution of United States and was prepared when US needed a kind of organization for holding states together and help them to make stronger economy. The articles set up continental congress at federal level and there was no provision for executive and judicial branches. the states were given more rights. The strength of Articles was that it gave made congress the highest power in the nation to declare war, making treaties and operate post offices. All the issues between states and territories were to be dealt by the congress. The major weakness of the congress was that it didn't give much power to congress. It allowed the congress to pass the laws but the power to enforce laws was not provided, without a court system or executive leader it was not possible to enforce laws. and unanimous decision for amending the articles was also its weakness. It also couldn't control the interstate trade.

Which of the following most inspired the inclusion in the Declaration of Independence of the right of the people to revolt again

Locke's Second Treatise on Civil Government. Locke argued for the idea that the people are ultimately the source of authority in governing, Thus the people also have the right to unseat a government that is not properly serving the nation's people. John Locke was arguing the idea of a "social contract." According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his First Treatise on Civil Government. In his Second Treatise on Civil Government, Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.

The American founding fathers read Locke (as well as other Enlightenment writers). The American Revolution (1775-1783) and the ideas included in the Declariation of Independence and the Constitution were inspired by writers such as Locke.
