Question

what was a problem created by the articles of confederation? it forced states to put down rebellions. it created an unfavorable treaty with britain. it allowed the government to spend too much money and cause debt. it created easy ways to change the structure of government.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation had a weak central government. It couldn't force states to do things like put down rebellions (Shays' Rebellion was a problem as the central govt couldn't handle it). The Treaty with Britain (Jay's Treaty) was after the Articles. The Articles made it hard to change the govt (needed unanimous consent). But under the Articles, the government (Congress) had no power to tax. So when it spent money (e.g., for the Revolutionary War), it caused debt as it couldn't raise revenue properly.

Answer:

It allowed the government to spend too much money and cause debt.
