Answer: The major problem was that the national government was given limited power and they couldn't enforce any laws on the individual states which made them weak.
Explanation: The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was an agreement among the 13 original states of the United States of America that served as its first constitution with the purpose of planning the structure for a new government. At this time, the people were loyal to their individual states rather than the nation as a whole.
Firstly, the Articles gave Congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws and if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. Secondly, Congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade and without a federal court system or executive leader, there was no way to enforce these laws either. Finally, amending the Articles of Confederation would require a unanimous decision, which proved extremely difficult.
All these contributed to an ineffective national government as each state was sovereign.
The correct answer is: "the private citizen who owns the factory".
It would be more accurate to say the private citizens who own the factory, as it is likely that the capital of the corporation is divided in shares, whose owners are in turn, also owners of the corporation in the proportion evidenced by the number of shares they hold.
The losses generated by the fire will be assumed by the capital available in the firm, and due to the increase suffered in the costs, owners will suffer a decrease in their dividends which are the return they receive for their invesment. In case that the available capital is not enough, investors can decide either to invest more money or to let the corporation go bankrupt. It is possible that the local community provides some aid in terms of funding in a mixed economy, to prevent job losses for example, but it is not mandatory that they do so.
In order to afford the large and immediate payments required in case of an unpredictable disaster or accident without risking the solvency of the whole business, firms sign insurance contracts and make periodic payments so that in case of an accident the insurance company would face all costs.
