Answer:

B. Articles of Confederation

E. impose taxes

B. Without being able to print money, the people had to use their credit cards instead of cash.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was the first constitution of the United States. After more than a year of consideration, it was submitted to the states for ratification in 1777, but not enough states approved it until 1781.

Under the Articles, the US economy faltered, since the central government lacked the power to enforce tax laws or regulate commerce.

The national government had no power to coin money, so states made their own. This is a problem because it makes it much harder to do business across state lines. This problem was fixed in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, which gives the national government the power to coin money.
