Question

which was a main reason for creating the articles of confederation?
to determine the power of states and the federal government
to have a tax system to generate money
to outline the role of individual citizens in government
to have a strong national government after the revolutionary war

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation aimed to define the power - sharing between states and the federal government. After the Revolutionary War, the states were wary of a strong central government, so the Articles were created to establish a balance. There was no main focus on a tax system, individual citizen roles, or a strong national government (in fact, the Articles made the national government weak).

Answer:

to determine the power of states and the federal government
