a. True
b. False

Well, keep in mind that the Articles of Confederation failed because they were developed to keep the national government as fragile as possible.There were also some states that printed their own currency. This resulted in a great deal of uncertainty about exchange rates and trade; some states accepted others' currency, while others refused to recognize bills issued by their counterparts. So with this information, what is your answer?

b. False

Under the Articles of Confederation, state governments were not allowed to print their own paper money. The power to coin and regulate money was given exclusively to the federal government. This was done to avoid issues such as multiple currencies and ensure uniformity in the monetary system.
