The Constitution aimed to address several weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, one significant way being the establishment of a stronger federal government with the power to tax. Under the Articles, the federal government lacked the authority to impose taxes, leading to financial difficulties and an inability to fund essential services. The Constitution provided the federal government with the power to levy taxes, thus creating a more stable financial structure and enabling the government to meet its obligations. This strengthened the central authority, allowing for greater coordination among the states and more effective governance.
Which of the following was one way the Constitution attempted to reconcile a weakness of the Articles of Confederation?
