D. Tax the states.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States. It was known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the federal government.

With the Articles of Confederation, the government could not draft soldiers, regulate trade, amend the Articles, create and enforce laws properly, or even tax the states. In order to tax the states, the government had to outright request money from them. They had no power to tax them, only request money. This made it exceptionally hard to pay for war debts and other matters.

Over time, the support for the Articles of Confederation split. Some people supported it, while some didn't. The people who were in favor of the Articles of Confederation were called Anti-Federalists and they associated having a strong government with British tyranny. On the other hand, the people who wanted to amend the Articles of Confederation were called Federalists and they wanted to have a strong government.

Eventually, the Constitutional Convention 1787 was called to amend the Articles. While the original plan was just to amend them, they ended up getting scrapped altogether. The United States Constitution was created instead.

harkovskaia [24]
Actually, these two novels could be said to express all of these themes and ideas.  However, the authors of these two novels, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, are considered by many critics, scholars, and historians to belong to what is known as "the lost generation" of American writers. Hemingway and Fitzgerald, in fact, have been considered to be the "leaders," in a sense, of the "lost generation" of American writers, especially given their mutual expression of purpose for the post World War I generation in their novels.
