Answer:

The Continental Congress was unable to provide the army with proper equipment because it couldn't levy taxes, as it was reserved only to the states.

Explanation:

The Continental Congress was ruled by the Articles of the Confederation, the first government charter of the United States.

The Articles supported the Continental Army and allowed the thirteen states to form a united front before the European powers. However, as a tool to build an effective government in times of war, it was a failure. Congress could make decisions, but did not have the power to apply them. Perhaps, the biggest setback was the requirement of unanimous approval of the 13 States to modify the articles. At the same time, the most important power that Congress lacked was the power to collect taxes: it could only request money from the States. These, for their part, did not always comply with the demands and Congress did not have the necessary funds for its operation, especially in the military, where due to this situation the Army was without the necessary provisions and weapons.

Complete the paragraph about using evidence to determine cause and effect in historical research.
Yanka [14]
Cultural causes - pop culture - multiple causation
When studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. For example, Cultural causes, reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. Another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. When studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causations, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.---
cultural causes show us how a society is developing and how artists, which have always interpret the society where they live, adjust and accept - or not accept - the changes of a culture. Art and literature are great both in understanding the actual change in the society and foreshadowing possible futures ---pop culture, which is a term that is often used in another context nowadays, literally means popular culture, meaning that form of culture which is aimed at popular parts of the society. pop culture could be a great indicator of the social and political challenges of a certain time.---multiple causations is the idea that there is no single cause in an event but a cluster of cause and effect that contributes towards that ending or that fact. it shows history not as a linear progression but as a system that is complex and not always easy to understand at first glance.
