Both A and B were weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, but if we are only comparing the two options, A was more of a weakness. The inability of the federal government to raise money to form an army hindered its ability to defend and protect the country. This weakness left the nation vulnerable to potential attacks and threats from other countries or rebellions within the country. On the other hand, while B limited states' ability to impose taxes on goods made in other states, it did not directly affect the country's defense and security.
