Question

following the american revolution, the confederation congress was unable to resolve the nations economic crisis because it could not
stop the states from printing money.
stop the states from forming legislatures.
issue a national currency.
declare war on foreign countries.

Explanation:

After the American Revolution, the Confederation Congress lacked the power to stop states from printing money, leading to economic instability. Each state printing its own money caused currency - value fluctuations and trade difficulties, exacerbating the economic crisis. It had no such issues with state legislatures, and the inability to declare war on foreign countries was not related to the economic crisis. While it also couldn't issue a unified national currency, the main problem was the states' independent money - printing.

Answer:

stop the states from printing money.
