Answer:

All of the items in the list were problems with the Articles of Confederation.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were the first constitutional basis of the United States and precursors of the United States Constitution of 1787. Their rules were based essentially on the principle of national sovereignty. After the Continental Congress passed them on November 15, 1777, they were in force after their three-year ratification from 1781 to 1789.

The international legal regulations of the Articles of Confederation rested on the principle of the complete sovereignty of the individual states, thus the former Thirteen Colonies. Thus, they effectively established an American confederation, which, however, had some structural deficiencies and quickly failed.

From the beginning of the Confederation, its legislature, the Continental Congress, was not allowed to raise its own taxes. Contributions from member states should contribute to the functioning of the Confederation organs, but most member states did not comply with this convention. For this reason, the Confederation was unable to provide its members with military protection against the increasing intervention of the European powers.

In addition, most Member States did not feel obliged to accept arrangements made in the Confederation. Since the latter lacked both enforcement and sanction possibilities, the scope of action of the Confederation was always limited. An important political and economic obstacle and expression of fragmentation, for example, was the increasing demarcation of the member states by protective tariffs, which the Continental Congress was also powerless for, for example, they had the opportunity to withdraw from the Confederation.

weqwewe [10]

The correct answer is that it was about <span>deterring the soviets from all out war by threatening a full nuclear response to any aggressive act.

Basically, what this means is that they announced that if there was even a slight possibility that the Soviets would attack them or if they did attack them, they would go full on with nukes on them and would not think about repercussions. This was later reverted as anyone with a clear head understood that nukes were not a good option.</span>
