Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress was unable to pass _____ to help pay national debt.
A sales tax
B an import tax
C a property tax
D income tax
Answer:
B an import tax
Explanation:
During the earlier formation of articles of confederation, the constitution still haven't established Federal government's supremacy over the states.
At first, the founding fathers thought that this wouldn't be a problem. But they started to realize that they're wrong during the tax collection process.
Not having the supremacy clauses enabled the states could freely reject the request made by the Federal government without having to pay consequences. When the feds asked the states to contribute paying import taxes to pay national debt in 1780s, the states could simply ignore it because they did not have the legal obligation to do so.

Ο Ο Ο
C. Congress passed the acts over his veto.
D. He was successful in stopping Congress.
Answer:
Congress passed the acts over his veto.
Explanation:
The Radicals mustered enough votes in Congress to pass legislation over his veto–the first time that Congress had overridden a President on an important bill. They passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which established Negroes as American citizens and forbade discrimination against them.
When President Andrew Johnson vetoed the Reconstruction Laws or the Civil Rights Acts, the Congress passed the acts over the veto. Option C is the correct answer.
What happened when President Johnson vetoed (refused to sign) Radical Reconstruction Laws?When the Congress passed the Civil Rights Acts in 1866, during the Reconstruction Era, President Johnson vetoed it. The Civil Rights Act of 1866, ensured equal rights to all citizens, and further declared that the former slaves were also to be considered as citizens of the United States. The President's veto received much opposition from the Republicans, and as a result, the Congress passed the Act again, overriding the veto.Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
