Question

Which of the following statements is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

Under the Articles of Confederation the states had significant amounts of power while the central government had very little power.

Explanation:

The articles of confederation initially created by the founding fathers to make sure that the central government cannot violate the right of the citizens through tyrannical action.

This is the reason why they designed it so the central government had very little power over the states.

But, several problems occurred because of this system of government. For example, It is became really hard for the central government to collect taxes from the states. The earliest form of the articles of the Confederation didn't provide the central government with the power to overrule states' authority in case they make violations like not paying taxes.
