D.
Since the central government didn't have any real control, it couldn't even make real money, let alone deal with paying for everyone.

D. The Articles did not outline a way for the federal government to collect taxes. It was more of a "donate anything extra you might have," which of course did not work.
A reason for this, perhaps, is even with the Articles of Confederation, the "United States" was still just a collection of individual states--not unified. So the states, to a degree, were not obligated to finance other states through a federal system. Adding to this, the Articles gave Congress very little power to enforce anything in the A of C, and collecting money was one of them.

d. the nation's finances - in this period there was plenty of forgery and counterfeit currency in the colonies because there was no set of procedures to stop these acts.
