Explanation:

The description of Congress lacking power to tax, regulate commerce, and the absence of an executive branch and national court system matches the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, the first US - type of constitution. The Intolerable Acts were punitive measures by Britain against the colonies. The Three - Fifths Compromise was about counting slaves for representation and taxation purposes in the later Constitution. The general term 'Constitution' is too broad here.

Answer:

Articles of Confederation
