Question

sections 1-3 and answer the questions then complete the flowchart showing ional congress resolved the weaknesses of the articles of confederation. 8. use the picture clues to create a flowchart by placing the labels in their correct location. congress could not impose taxes on the states and was therefore unable to pay for an army. congress was powerless to prevent uprisings like shays rebellion. congress was given the power to declare war, raise an army and a navy, print money, and set up a postal system. congress agreed on how to develop the western lands acquired from the british after the revolutionary war. congress could not create a strong money system, so each state printed its own money

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each statement:

• Strengths (A and B): Statements describing positive powers of Congress.
• "Congress was given the power to declare war, raise an army and a navy, print money, and set up a postal system." (matches a strength - assign to A or B)
• "Congress agreed on how to develop the western lands acquired from the British after the Revolutionary War." (also a strength - assign to the other strength box)

• Weaknesses (C, D, E): Statements describing limitations.
• "Congress could not impose taxes on the states and was therefore unable to pay for an army." (weakness)
• "Congress was powerless to prevent uprisings like Shays’ Rebellion." (weakness)
• "Congress could not create a strong money system, so each state printed its own money." (weakness)

For example, if A is a strength box with military/financial icons, the "declare war..." statement fits. The western lands agreement also fits a strength box (B). The tax issue, Shays’ Rebellion, and money system issues are weaknesses for C, D, E.

Answer:

• A (Strength): Congress was given the power to declare war, raise an army and a navy, print money, and set up a postal system.
• B (Strength): Congress agreed on how to develop the western lands acquired from the British after the Revolutionary War.
• C (Weakness): Congress could not impose taxes on the states and was therefore unable to pay for an army.
• D (Weakness): Congress was powerless to prevent uprisings like Shays’ Rebellion.
• E (Weakness): Congress could not create a strong money system, so each state printed its own money.

(Assign based on icon clues: e.g., A’s icons (swords, money, postal) match the "declare war..." statement; B’s (land, government) match western lands; C’s (tax/army) matches tax issue; D’s (uprising) matches Shays’; E’s (money) matches money system.)
