Answer 1

After the Revolutionary War, the national government primarily got its money through the option: **The Continental Congress requested money from the states.** The Congress did not have the power to levy taxes directly, so it relied on the states to contribute funds. However, this system was often insufficient, leading to financial difficulties for the new nation.
