Check your book for number 1. Although at one time, states printed their own money, at some time this was changed while the Articles of Confederation were in effect.

2. is A.
1. State governments could print their own paper money under the Articles of Confederation. True or False
To determine the answer to this question, we can refer to historical information about the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States, ratified in 1781. It granted significant powers to the individual states while limiting the powers of the federal government.
Under the Articles of Confederation, each state had the authority to issue its own currency. This means that the statement "State governments could print their own paper money under the Articles of Confederation" is indeed true.
2. Which of the following explains changes that happened in U.S. foreign policy after the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union?
To answer this question, let's examine each option and determine which one best fits the changes in U.S. foreign policy after the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union.
a) The establishment of more positive foreign relations with the Soviet Union: This option does not accurately reflect the changes that happened after the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union ceased to exist, and while new countries emerged, U.S. foreign relations shifted from addressing a single superpower to a broader global perspective.
b) A decline in foreign relations with communist countries: This option is also inaccurate as the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union led to a shift in global dynamics, reducing the influence of communist ideology and allowing for new possibilities in foreign relations.
c) Strengthened economic ties with Asian countries: This option is plausible as many Asian countries experienced significant economic growth during this time, and the United States sought to deepen economic ties with them. However, it does not specifically address the changes in U.S. foreign policy post the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union.
d) An increase in military action in Iraq: This option is unrelated to the changes in U.S. foreign policy after the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union. Military action in Iraq was a separate event that occurred years later.
Based on the given options, none of them accurately explain the changes in U.S. foreign policy after the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union. Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined from the choices provided. However, it would be more appropriate to focus on changes such as the U.S. taking on a more prominent role as the world's sole superpower and the shift towards a more global perspective in foreign relations.
