Question

1. (outline) who has power and authority under the articles of confederation? (3)

Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, the states had most of the power and authority. The central government was weak. It had no power to tax directly or regulate commerce effectively. The states retained sovereignty, freedom, and independence. Key powers like foreign - affairs (to some extent) were shared between the states and the central government, but states had significant control over their internal affairs.

Answer:

The states had significant power and authority under the Articles of Confederation, while the central government was weak with limited powers such as in conducting some aspects of foreign - affairs but lacking in areas like direct taxation and effective commerce regulation.
