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.

What were some of the causes of the discontent that led to revolutions in Latin America?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The local elites, the <em>criollos</em>, had wealth, lands and social position, but they lacked political power and were discriminated because they were born in the colonial territories; their families were of Spanish origin, but as they were born in the colonies, they were seen as socially inferior to the <em>peninsulares</em>, Spanish born in Spain and who were the only eligible to the top posts of the colonial administration.  Besides, Spanish restrictions and Madrid monoply of trade impeded increased trade and its benefits with other economies. They  also got inspired by the fight of the American colonies and the independence of the United States, as well by the French Revolution and its ideals. Many heroes of Latin American independence fought with the Napoleonic armies in Europe convinced they were fighting to spread the libertarian ideals of France. Besides, the decadence of Spain added another reason to dream about independence.  The leaders of Latin American revolutions were <em>criollos.</em>
