Answer (3)
The Articles of Confederation did all of these things except for it DID allow for all states to have representation in Congress. Therefore, the incorrect answer is the answer in regards to the Articles "the Articles did not allow for all states to have representation in Congress."
The Articles of Confederation ensured that all states had representation in Congress, providing equal representation for all states. However, there were many issues with the Articles, such as inadequate taxation powers, no provision for executive power, and insufficient power to maintain an army, which led to its replacement by the U.S. Constitution. ;
The Articles of Confederation failed primarily due to inadequate powers for taxation, no executive branch, and inability to maintain an army. However, the claim that all states did not have representation in Congress is incorrect, as every state was represented equally. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option B, since all states had representation in Congress.
