Answer: Debt Payment, National Defense and Welfare of the United States
Explanation:
When the Articles of the Confederation which was the first Constitution of the United States was ratified in 1781, it included a clause that empowered the State Governments to decide what to give to Congress. Some of them gave less and some gave nothing of what they were supposed to give.
Congress was therefore powerless and risked falling apart and with it, the Central Government.
The Constitution of 1789 changed this by including the 'Taxing and Spending' clause.
This clause gave Congress the right to impose taxes. The clause states that Congress can levy taxes to enable it to pay off American debt as well as for the defense and general welfare of American citizens.
