Answer:
B. Inability to tax citizens
Explanation:
Immediately after the American Revolution, the Articles of the Confederation <u>gave little power to the federal government, for fear of a tyrannical government, such as that of the British Empire </u>that the American state had just evaded through the Revolution.
In consequence, because of lack of power over the states,<u> the federal government could hardly collect taxes and this created huge economical issues at a central level.</u>
The other answers are not correct, because <u>the Articles of the Confederation gave the federal government power to make foreign policy, establish land ordinances and negotiate treaties with Native Americans. </u>
The correct answer is C. It allowed ownership of slaves in all new territories
The Northwest Ordinance, enacted July 13, 1787, was an organic act of the Congress of the Confederation of the United States. It created the northwest territory, the first organized territory of the United States, from lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains, between British North America and the Great Lakes to the north and the Ohio River to the south. It basically allowed ownership of slaves in all new territories because they didn´t want slavery to exist in this territory.
Many American colonies declared independence from their European leaders
Independent states unified under a weak central government have what is called a "confederate government," much like the government the Southern states were trying to implement during the Civil War.
