Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress had no power to make states enforce laws. Why was this a problem?
Congress could take over the state governments.
The states could not work closely with Congress.
It took away the importance of laws passed by Congress.
It made the state governments unable to pass new laws.
The correct answer is: It took away the importance of laws passed by Congress.
Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress lacked the authority to compel states to enforce laws passed by the central government. As a result, the laws passed by Congress were often ignored or not taken seriously by the states. This lack of enforcement power weakened the effectiveness and impact of the laws passed by Congress, contributing to the overall inefficiency and dysfunction of the government under the Articles.
