The correct response is: The lack of an enforcement power prevented the federal government from carrying out necessary policies.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government lacked the authority to enforce laws and regulate commerce effectively, which hindered its ability to protect the interests and freedoms of the people. This is evidenced by the resolution calling for more power to regulate trade and protect commerce, highlighting the weaknesses in the existing system.
