The correct answer, according to the graphic is Spending relative to tax revenue drastically increased in 2009.
Indeed, tax revenue is the main source of income for a state. The fact the on the graphic both the Budget Deficit and the National Debt increased exponentially with regards to the previous year, clearly indicates that all the income collected through taxation was insufficient to cover all the expenses and operating costs of the federal government. This is a clear indicator of the serious economic crisis caused by the Great Recession as unemployment was skyrocketing (which means unemployed citizens were not making any money) and spending was at its lowest (since with no money they were unable to buy goods or services which did not yield any tax revenue).
Mountain ranges had an important impact on the way how people lived and behaved in the Americas. Because the climate differed drastically, people were also subject to different behavioral patterns as well as different lifestyles. While some people could raise cattle and prosper in that kind of environment, others had to resort to agriculture.

Answer:
The power of confederation came from the states.
Explanation:
I assume this is US History. This question is worded wierd, this is the best answer I can give. The articles of confederation were created to give power to the states from the states. Only after the constitution replaced it, did the United States have a central power. The reason was to give the states power. So it originated from the states wanting to be sovereign from each other. the question is bad btw. not worded the best, or maybe I just don't get it.
