Explanation:

For 10.7:

The details (farmer debt, farm foreclosures, attacks on court buildings, and exposing federal powerlessness) match the causes and impacts of Shays' Rebellion, an uprising of Massachusetts farmers against economic injustice and weak federal authority under the Articles of Confederation.

For 10.8:

• The Articles lacked checks and balances as it had only a legislative branch.
• Congress could not enforce its own laws, a key weakness of the weak federal government.
• Congress could not raise its own military to defend states.
• States held more power than the federal Congress under the Articles.

Other options are incorrect: Congress had representation from each state, laws required 9/13 votes (not unanimous), and Congress could not impose tariffs/fees at all.

For 10.9:

• Congress united states in a league of friendship via the Articles.
• The Northwest Ordinance established rules for westward expansion and new states, a major long-term achievement.
• The Treaty of Paris 1783 ended the Revolutionary War and secured U.S. territory, a critical early success.

Other options are incorrect: The Louisiana Purchase was in 1803 (post-Articles), no permanent navy was created under the Articles, and there was no national court system or Judicial Review Act under the Articles.
