Question

leaders in congress saw that the national government needed power to enforce national trade policies. but giving congress this power required a constitutional amendment, and it was too difficult to get all thirteen states to agree to such a change. based on the passage, which of the following would be allowed under the articles of confederation? select all that apply. georgia could negotiate its own trade agreements with great britain. congress could punish new hampshire if the state refused to follow any national trade policies. congress could prevent states from buying british products like textiles. pennsylvania could tax goods that were made in new jersey and sold in pennsylvania.

Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government had weak powers and states had significant autonomy. States could negotiate their own trade agreements as there was no strong central - authority over trade. Also, states could tax goods from other states as there was no unified economic policy. Congress did not have the power to enforce national trade policies effectively, so it could not punish states for non - compliance or prevent states from buying certain products.

Answer:

A. Georgia could negotiate its own trade agreements with Great Britain.
D. Pennsylvania could tax goods that were made in New Jersey and sold in Pennsylvania.
