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 were created to determine the power of states and the federal government. After the Revolutionary War, the newly - independent states were cautious about a strong central government (so the option about a strong national government is incorrect). The Articles did not establish an effective tax system (eliminating the tax - system option). Also, it was more about the relationship between states and the central government rather than outlining individual citizens' roles in government.

Answer:

to determine the power of states and the federal government
