Question

which of the following was not true under the Articles of Confederation? 1. the national government could tax its people 2. the states could control the militia 3. the states could regulate their trade 4. the national government managed relations with other nations

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Explanation:

A reason why the Article of Confederation failed was that it did not have the authority to collect taxes. Instead, the national government basically relied on "donations" from the state. It was not until the Constitution was ratified did the national government finally collect taxes. All the other options are true.
