Question

Confederation Congress sold the nation’s western lands to raise national revenue

a. as a result of economic concerns voiced during Shays’s Rebellion.

b. to promote interstate commerce.

c.because its ability to obtain money from the states was limited.

d. after inflation led to a farmers’ uprising in Massachusetts.

Answer 1

Congress sold land to raise money under the Articles of Confederation since it couldn't place a tax on the states.

Answer 2

so which do you think it would be?

Answer 3

aaah sorry im super confused and tired and.. yea haha
Anyways, c maybe?

Answer 4

Well we can rule out A because if I remember correctly, Shay's rebellion didn't occur until after the Articles were fixed. With B, they wanted to correct the Articles to promote interstate commerce, not sell land. D is tied with Shays rebellion and is what led to the rebellion. It seems like C would be the correct answer because since gov couldn't place a tax on states, its ability to obtain money from them was limited, so that is the reason they sold the land. And don't worry, I feel the same. I have my US History final tomorrow and understand the stress.
