When the Articles of Confederation were drafted, Americans had had little experience of what a national government could do for them and bitter experience of what an arbitrary government could do to them. In creating a central government they were therefore more concerned with keeping it under control than with giving it the means to do its job." -Edmund S. Morgan, The Birth of the Republic, 1763-89, 1956

What pieces of evidence would best support the author's conclusion?

The national government could not levy taxes on the people.

Explanation:

The text shown above shows how the Articles of Confederation failed to create a national government with sufficient resources to exercise its government. This is because the national government could not charge imports to the people and therefore did not have the economic resources to do an efficient job. Accordingly, we can agree when Morgan states that "In creating a central government they were therefore more concerned with keeping it under control than with giving it the means to do its job."
