Question

Which limitation directly led to Congress being unable to stop inflation? 1.Congress could not collect taxes. 2.Congress could not regulate prices. 3.Congress could not raise an army. 4.Congress could not trade on the Mississippi.

Answer 1

"2.Congress could not regulate prices" would be the best option from the list, since although it is true that under the Articles Congress could not collect taxes, this did not directly lead to inflation. 

Answer 2

The right choice is number 2.

Inflation, represents an index that measures the price variation of all the products offered in the market.

This variation tends to refer to a continuous and generalized increase in prices of goods and services in an economic system.
