Question

What was the biggest weakness in the Articles of Confederation?

1. Congress passed unfair taxation laws.
2. The president was too powerful.
3. The states held too much power.
4. The states had no power.

Answer 1

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The Article of Confederation did not have any power to tax, so option 1 is not correct.

There was no President under the Articles of Confederation, so option 2 is not correct.

The Article of Confederation really wanted a system where the representatives of states had a say on how the nation operated, so that eliminate option 4, leaving us with option 3.
