Because the national government was not able to raise taxes under the articles of confederation, a) the states directly paid for everything congress wanted to do b) congress was dependent on the states for its money c) congress had no money d) the people personally had to pay the government for any services they wanted. I give medals!
I am thinking, please wait
This is what I know and what is true. Under the Articles of Confederation, the government was very weak. They didn't have much money for support. Why? Well because the government could not force people to pay taxes. They could only ask people for taxes, but they couldn't make people pay taxes. They ask the states and the people in the states to pay taxes, but the people wouldn't pay taxes because the government under the articles of confederation could not make anyone pay taxes. Congress was dependent on the states for its money is the best answer.
ok.
Medal ? ;)
