THANKS GUYS
You're welcome.
To determine the answer, let's examine the powers granted to Congress by the Articles of Confederation.
The Articles of Confederation, which served as the first governing document of the United States, granted Congress certain powers. These powers were designed to create a limited central government while leaving most governing authority to the states.
Option A states that Congress could build schools, collect taxes, create a banking system, and create prisons. This is partially correct. Congress did have the power to collect taxes, primarily on imported goods, as well as the power to create a national banking system. However, the specific powers to build schools and create prisons were not granted to Congress by the Articles of Confederation.
Option B states that Congress could declare war, make treaties, create a mail delivery system, and print money. This is also partially correct. Congress did have the power to declare war and make treaties under the Articles of Confederation. They also had the authority to establish a postal system and regulate currency, including the power to print money.
Considering the powers granted under the Articles of Confederation, it is clear that option B is the more accurate choice. Therefore, the answer to the question is B) Congress could declare war, make treaties, create a mail delivery system, and print money.
