Question

Which of the following was a power granted to Congress under the Articles of Confederation?


create and regulate currency


declare and conduct war


levy and regulate taxes

Answer 1

Correct answers: create and regulate currency, and declare and conduct war.

Under the Articles Congress had the power to coin money and regulate its value and to declare and conduct war. It did NOT have the power to levy taxes — it could only request funds from the states, which could (and often did) refuse.
