Question

Imagine you are a delegate at the Second Continental Congress and its being debated whether or not the central government should be allowed to impose taxes. Decide if you think the government should be allowed to create taxes

Answer 1

Central government should be allowed to impose taxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be allowed to impose taxes, because, there are certain projects, that only a central government can efficiently oversee and fund. Example:

- army to fight foreign powers

- any projects that benefits the country as a whole AND at the same time, benefits some states more than others. Example: continental railroad benefits the whole country, BUT you have to say, that some states get more benefit than others.
