Answer:
The correct answer is <u>B</u>: Congress declared war on Japan.
Explanation:
In 1941, Japan occupied Indochina and acquired valuable sources of material goods and materials. Their next plan was to attack East India, because of its oil sources. The US responded to this by an oil embargo that particularly hit the Japanese Navy. The Japanese government decided to occupy East India, although it brought them an armed conflict with Britain and the US.
As a further warning, the US government had moved most of its Pacific fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor. That was a great opportunity for Japan to gain dominance in the Pacific and conquer the rest of Asia.
On December 7, 1942, the US base (Pearl Harbor) was attacked by Japanese aircraft which damaged a large number of ships and aircraft. This attack, carried out without a formal war declaration, caused great anger among the American public and the Congress decided the USA should be involved in world events and declared war on Japan.

Explanation:
<em>Shay's Rebellion</em>
Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States. It is known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the national government. With the Articles of Confederation, the government could not regulate trade, draft soldiers, create and enforce laws properly, tax citizens, and other important matters.
Since the national government was so powerless, most of the power was in the hands of the people and the states. This meant that it was hard to keep people in check, which eventually caused Shay's Rebellion.
Shay's Rebellion was an uprise of farmers who did not want to lose their property and opposed high taxing. Courts were trying to take away their property, as many poor farmers could not pay their taxes. This caused many farmers to revolt, causing a few casualties. This proved the national government was too weak under the Articles of Confederation, as they could do nothing to stop this.
