History

Roe v. Wade was a controversial case because  it argued that privacy extends to a woman’s reproductive system. Jane Roe was a Texas citizen who had filed a lawsuit against her state which banned abortion. She did it with the help of her lawyer Sarah Weddington. They lost their lawsuit in the Texas courts, but the US Supreme Court made an opposite decision after debating the case.

The judges in this court accepted part of Sarah Weddington's argument that Texas anti-abortion laws were against the US Constitution, specifically against the XIVth Amendment, which protects the privacy of citizens. In this amendment, it said:

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. »

In the case of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decided that a state could not deprive a woman of her freedom to make abortion if it does not have consequences for the health of the mother or the baby. The right to privacy ends as soon as it has an impact on other people's lives, their safety, or their freedom.

<u>Answer</u>:

A. The Articles did not provide the power for a national currency

This was resulted in each state under the Articles of Confederation producing its own currency.

<u>Explanation</u>:

“The Articles of Confederation” created a weak national government and a strong state government. This was the main reason for the failure of Article of Confederation.

The major issue was that the 'national government' did not have any power to impose taxes. "The national government" had to take money from the "states", to pay for its own expenses. Each state had its own currency. At times even shopkeepers and businesses accepted only the state's currency. The reaosn was that it could be used in that locality. Continental currency was not even accepted to pay for the taxes.
