Question 6 • * HSA 26-27 US Government

What was the result of administrative weaknesses under the Articles of Confederation?

Answer
A
The national government could not maintain order.
B
The national government overruled many state laws.
C
The national government courts found people guilty without a trial.
D
The national government taxes were too high.

Explanation

Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government had limited power to enforce laws and respond to unrest. As a result, it struggled to maintain order, as shown by its difficulty responding to Shays’ Rebellion. The Articles did not give the national government broad power to overrule state laws or impose high taxes.
