Answer and Explanation: Articles of Confederation was the very first written constitution of USA. This constitution was not seen with much validity on international stage. This constitution was fundamentally weak and no foreign power would take United States seriously. There were two reasons for this, primary reason was that during Revolutionary war United States borrowed a lot of money and was under enormous debts and was unable to pay that because no money was being generated. Other countries were unwilling to trade with USA because of the fear of losing their money and thus, USA could not generate enough money to pay debts and to regulate state affairs. Secondary reason was that USA's foreign policy was very fragile at that time, USA, a newly developed state, was not trusted by other states and no friendly ties were initiated by others instead USA was under threat of Britain's aggression. These were some of the reasons of why the foreign powers treated Articles of confederation with scorn.

Answer: The answer is B) The federal government could not raise money by collecting taxes.

Explanation: This was only a few years after the Revolutionary War. The country had war debts they had to pay back and if they didn't have money from taxes to pay then they couldn't pay their debts. However, this is a bit ironic since one of the reasons the fought for independence from Great Britain was because they thought taxes violated their right as citizens and now the US government wanted to tax them.
