Question

Identify the reason for the failure of the articles of confederation. A. Government had the power to declare war b. Leaders could not get the states to send delegates to the continental congress c. Government could not enforce the laws on the individual states d. It had a bill of rights

Answer 1

The primary reason for the failure of the Articles of Confederation was **C. Government could not enforce the laws on the individual states**. The Articles created a weak central government that lacked the authority to compel states to comply with laws or contribute to national efforts, which ultimately led to ineffective governance and the push for a stronger federal system.
