Which of the following explains why the Articles of Confederation were weak? A: The Congress taxed the states too heavily after the war
B: The Congress heavily restricted trade with trade
C: Each state had one vote and could not agree on important issues
D: Each state had two votes in the Congress, but only certain states could use both at the same time

Correct answer is C: Each state had one vote and could not agree on important issues.

Explanation:

Option A is not correct as Congress didn't have enough authority to impose taxation system on the states.

Option B is not correct as this wasn't also something that Congress was able to do.

Option C is correct as every state had one vote, no matter what was the size of it. Therefore larger states were unsatisfied.

Option D is not correct because as we have said every state had one vote.

freeborn women in ancient rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by roman historians. but while roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history range from lucretia and claudia quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce republican-era women such as cornelia, mother of the gracchi, and fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the julio-claudian dynasty, most prominently livia (58 bc-ad 29), who contributed to the formation of imperial mores; and the empress helena (c.250–330 ad), a driving force in promoting christianity.

women in the ancient greek world had few rights in comparison to male citizens. unable to vote, own land, or inherit, a woman’s place was in the home and her purpose in life was the rearing of children. this, though, is a general description, and when considering the role of women in ancient greece one should remember that information regarding specific city-states is often lacking, is almost always from male authors, and only in athens can their status and role be described in any great detail. neither are we sure of the practical and everyday application of the rules and laws that have survived from antiquity. we do know that spartan women were treated somewhat differently than in other states. for example, they had to do physical training like men, were permitted to own land, and could drink wine.
