Question

what was a major political challenge faced by the united states immediately after the american revolution? the establishment of a central government that controlled all state decisions the continued rule of colonial governors appointed by the british crown the inability to tax or regulate trade under the articles of confederation the formation of a military alliance with britain to maintain stability

Explanation:

• Option 1: The Articles of Confederation had a weak central government, not one controlling all state decisions. So this is incorrect.
• Option 2: After the American Revolution, colonial governors appointed by Britain no longer ruled. So this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government (Congress) couldn't tax or regulate trade effectively, which was a major political challenge as it limited the government's ability to function. This is correct.
• Option 4: After the Revolution, the US was not forming a military alliance with Britain; in fact, relations were strained. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

the inability to tax or regulate trade under the Articles of Confederation
