Yes, I can confirm that the correct options regarding the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation that necessitated a stronger federal government include:

  • B) confusion over different state currency: The Articles allowed each state to issue its own currency, leading to economic instability and confusion.

  • C) how to resolve disputes between states over land: The federal government under the Articles did not have the authority to effectively resolve disputes between states, leading to conflicts and issues with territory.

The other options (A and D) do not accurately reflect the main weaknesses that prompted the Constitution's creation. Option A relates to Native American land policies, and option D relates to education, which were not primary concerns leading to the constitutional changes.
