The correct answer is:
D. It gave Congress the authority to impose taxes on individuals and the states.
The Constitution addressed the issues of taxation that were prevalent under the Articles of Confederation by granting Congress the power to levy taxes directly on individuals and states, thus ensuring a more stable and consistent source of revenue for the federal government. This was a significant change from the Articles, which had no power to tax, leading to financial difficulties for the national government.
