Answer:
B) True.
Explanation:
America's first government was inadequately prepared and weak for a number of reasons.
Firstly, the U.S. government could not print money, and when they could, the US currency was useless outside of the United States.
Secondly, the U.S. could not impose taxes in a federal level for fear of public outcry, especially as they had just broken away from Great Britain for the very reason of taxes. This meant that the U.S. government had no funds for any governmental actions.
Thirdly, the federal government had no foreign relations powers. Each state individually made trade deals and alliances with different nations, independent on each other.
Fourthly, the U.S. was not able to make good on their war debts and promises to investors, both at home and also foreigners.
Responding to xenophobic concerns, Congress passed an emergency law restricting immigration in 1921. Among other provisions, the Act established a quota (a proportional share of a total) for nationalities on the basis of their numbers in the U.S. in 1910.
The missing detail is: a quota.
The event that convinced American leaders to call the grand convention was Shay's Rebellion. Shays' Rebellion constituted a wave of violent attacks on courthouses and other government properties in Massachusetts, initiating in 1786, which resulted in a full-blown military confrontation in 1787.
