Hi

This is a question I get A LOT, in high school social studies when it comes to American Government, so I suggest you try your best to keep this one in your brain all throughout public school.

It would be B: Lack of power within the federal government.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was focused on giving enormous power to the states, and it could only do this by removing it from central (federal) government. With the Articles of Confederation, the government could not tax, which would cause it to lose lots of tax money and lower the general economy.
