Question

Under the Articles of Confederation, what power did the national Confederation Congress have?

the power to tax
the power to enforce foreign treaties
the power to enforce commercial trade agreements
the power to create land ordinances

Answer 1

Answer:

The power to create land ordinances

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the first US Constitution. The article created a loose confederation of sovereign states with a weak central government. Because of that, the Congress did not have much power, because most of the power was left with the state governments.

One of the powers that Congress had was the power to create land ordinances. An example is the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 that was the single most important piece of legislation in that period.
