“So long as any individual state has power to defeat the measures of the other twelve, our pretended union is but a name, and our confederation, a cobweb. -Noah Webster”
What fundamental problem did Noah Webster see in the Articles of Confederation ? (1 point )
that the central government would always favor large states over the smaller states when disputes broke out
that the states would have no way to stop the central government from imposing harsh taxes on them
that small states would have just as much say in the government as larger states
that states would always work in their own self -interest even if it meant harm to the nation as a whole
