Explanation:

For Question 7: Under the Articles of Confederation, each state had the power to print its own money. This led to a lack of a uniform currency, making trade between states and with foreign entities very difficult. Different state - issued currencies had varying values, which contributed to economic chaos. States did not refuse to tax their people (many did tax), creating their own banks was not the main cause of economic chaos as per the Articles' weaknesses, and states could not borrow from a federal government that had no real financial power.
For Question 8:

• The Three - Fifths Compromise (c) was an agreement at the Constitutional Convention where a slave was counted as 3/5 of a person for population purposes.
• Bicameral (a) is an adjective describing a legislative body with two chambers.
• Proportional representation (d) is the process by which congressional seats are distributed among states according to census data.
• The Great Compromise (b) was an agreement between large and small states that established the representation of each state in the U.S. Constitution in the legislature.
