The main reason why the money issued by the continental congress of little value was because it wasn't "backed" by anything real such as gold. Plus, this government had practically no credit.

The correct answer is:

The money did not have enough gold and silver to back it up.

During the American Revolution, the colonies and the Continental Congress issued paper money, known as Continental currency, to fund the war effort. This bills of credit were usually flat money, meaning they could not be exchanged for a fixed amount of gold or silver coins upon demand. When too many were issued, inflation resulted in the depreciation of that money.

stira [4]
He thought the economy would do better by finding efficiency and wealth through the "Invisible Hand" of the market. He felt that government intervention weakened the economy. He also thought that the government would set up a system where businesses would start to band together to try to extract favors from the government, thus, the businesses would work together and not compete, which would make their product prices raise, and their product value and quality fall.
