1. The central government’s inability to impose taxes on states.
2. The rebellion of farmers in Massachusetts due to an increase in taxes.
To identify the issues or events that highlighted the insufficiency of the power of the central government under the Articles of Confederation, we need to review the historical context of that time period. Here are the correct options:
1. The central government’s inability to impose taxes on states: One of the main problems with the Articles of Confederation was that the central government lacked the authority to levy taxes on the states. This hindered their ability to generate revenue and fund governmental operations effectively.
3. The rebellion of farmers in Massachusetts due to an increase in taxes: One of the notable events that highlighted the weaknesses of the central government was the Shays' Rebellion in Massachusetts. Farmers, burdened by overwhelming debt and high taxes, rebelled against the state government. However, due to the limited power of the central government, it was unable to intervene effectively to suppress the rebellion or address the underlying issues.
So, the correct answers are:
1. The central government’s inability to impose taxes on states
3. The rebellion of farmers in Massachusetts due to an increase in taxes
