Under the Articles of Confederation Congress could NOT?
Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government was a unicameral meaning it had only one house with one member from each state. To pass any legislation, 9 out of 13 members were needed. Congress could not levy taxes or even regulate trade among the states. They did not even had the power to draft soldiers. The Articles were drawn up during the war. Problems after the war could not be solved by the Articles. Not only Congress had limited power but the President had no power at all.
What group of people within the us can have their trade regulated with others by congress?
Congress has the power to regulate trade between the states. So, anyone who buys or sells anything outside their state is subject to Congressional regulation.
How did the Constitutional Convention deal with slave trade?
The Constitutional Convention left the slave trade untaxed and untouched. Delegates from the southern States were naturally wary about the prospect of Congress being able to regulate America's interstate and foreign trade. They were afraid that the North would use its influence in Congress to levy taxes on the slave trade and the cotton trade. The delegates from the South pushed for, and won, a compromise on the matter: the Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise. This agreement made it so Congress could regulate interstate and foreign trade, but could not tax exports. This meant that cotton exports from the South would not be affected. In addition, Congress was forbidden from regulating the slave trade for 20 years.
