Question

what was the big problem/weakness of the articles of confederations government that both alexander hamilton and george washington experienced during the revolutionary war? the british red coats had advanced technology that the continental army had never seen which made some of the soldiers run away in fear. there were not enough maps and no g.p.s. so the armies were always getting lost and turned around in the wrong direction. it was difficult to tell which side the soldiers were on because they did not all wear a green army uniform like today. the aocs government did not have the power to tax and to provide enough money to fund the army and run a country.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation established a weak central government that lacked the authority to tax. This meant it could not raise sufficient funds to pay, supply, or support the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, a critical issue both Hamilton and Washington directly faced as they struggled to maintain the military effort. The other options are either anachronistic (GPS did not exist) or unrelated to the structural weakness of the Articles' government.

Answer:

The AoC's government did not have the power to tax and to provide enough money to fund the army and run a country.
