The correct answer 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 regulate trade effectively, as it had no power to enforce trade laws or impose tariffs, which limited its ability to protect commerce and the economic interests of the states and the people.
