Question

Describe one way in which the powers granted to Congress
under the Articles caused problems for the young republic.

Answer 1

Answer:

One of the biggest problems was that the national government had no power to impose taxes. To avoid any perception of “taxation without representation,” the Articles of Confederation allowed only state governments to levy taxes. To pay for its expenses, the national government had to request money from the states.

Answer 2

The congress only had their power limited to the issues of foreign affairs. This did not help to unite the new republic.

The congress was limited in its powers in the new American republic. Some of the weaknesses that they had was that

• They could not tax states.
• They had very little or no support from the states
• They couldn't raise funds on their own
• They also couldn't regulate trade and commerce in America.
