Answer 1

Answer: C. The national government had little power to get states to cooperate.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation made the Federal Government notoriously weak with the logic being that a strong central government might have become tyrannical overtime.

The Federal Government was totally reliant on the States as it was the states that raised taxes and gave what they wanted to the Federal Government. With such power vested with them, they States did not even feel the need to cooperate sometimes.
