The correct answer is:
**D. It gave Congress the authority to impose taxes on individuals and the states.**
The Articles of Confederation had significant weaknesses, including the inability of the federal government to levy taxes effectively. The U.S. Constitution addressed this issue by granting Congress the power to impose taxes directly on individuals and to collect revenues, thereby enhancing the federal government's financial authority.
