After the Revolutionary War, the national government primarily got its money through the following means:
1. **The Continental Congress requested money from the states**: The Continental Congress, which had limited power to tax, relied heavily on voluntary contributions from the states to fund the government.
2. **France and Spain extended credit to the new country**: Foreign loans and assistance were also crucial during this period. Both France and Spain supported the fledgling nation, providing loans and credit that helped sustain the government financially.
The other options mentioned (Britain paying damages and citizens paying to vote) are not accurate mechanisms for funding the national government at that time. After the war, Britain was not obligated to pay damages, and voting did not require payment.

The correct answer is **A. France and Spain extended credit to the new country.**
After the Revolutionary War, the national government primarily relied on loans and credit from foreign nations like France and Spain, as well as voluntary contributions from the states. Option B, stating that Britain was forced to pay damages to its former colonies, is not accurate in this context.

I apologize for any confusion. You are correct that one of the primary ways the national government sought to get funding after the Revolutionary War was through requests for money from the states. The Continental Congress did ask the states to contribute funds to support the national government, but these requests were often met with limited success due to the states’ own financial challenges.
Therefore, while France and Spain did provide loans, the major mechanism for obtaining money directly was indeed through the Continental Congress's requests to the states. Thank you for your clarification!
