Answer 1

The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation that contributed to the need for a new and stronger federal government include:

A. how to resolve disputes between states over land
C. confusion over state currency

These two issues exemplify the inability of the Articles of Confederation to effectively manage interstate relations and economic stability, prompting the need for a more robust federal structure as outlined in the Constitution. Options B and D, while relevant to discussions during the period, are not primary weaknesses that directly led to the call for a stronger federal government.
