Question

What does “the want of sufficient energy in our present confederation” mean

Answer 1

Answer:

The overview including its given subject is listed throughout the subsection below on explanatory.

Explanation:

• "The need for ample resources in every predetermined response" indicates that perhaps the Confederation Articles seemed to have some significant shortcomings that hindered the U.S. government from addressing some of the other world's problems.
• This suggests the federal government remained scared and didn't have as many resources to investigate problems. It would be the sovereign nations that can raise money by taxing. Unless the centralized government wanted money it would have to demand it from the states.
