B. To discuss trade problems among the states.

Explanation:

The Annapolis Convention was the meeting where five states met and talked about the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was very weak and gave no power to the national government, this made it so they couldn't enforce laws, tax citizens, or regulate trade. Colonists thought this would be good at first, as they were scared the government would abuse power just like Great Britain did to them, but there were major problems. The Annapolis Convention was about trade issues that were abundant due to the Articles of Confederation, trade was not being regulated properly among the states due to the weak national government.

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
