Amajor failing of the united states government under the articles of confederation was its

a)inability to allow the united states to expand.

b)inability to regulate commerce among the states.

c)failure to defend texas from being annexed by mexico.

d)failure to allow the united states to conduct foreign relations.

The correct answer is the inability to regulate commerce among the states. The Articles left unclear the role of the federal government in trade between the sovereign states, which could have led to tariffs, trade wars, etc between the states. It did, however, regulate the expansion of the country (into the Great Lakes region) and allow the government to establish embassies in foreign countries.

I believe the answer is: B)inability to regulate commerce among the states.

This create a situation when the states government had more economic power compared to the federal government, which become one of the reason why they are brave enough to give threaten for secession when they do not get what they want from the federal government.

i would say b probably

i'd have to with d.
