Answer 1) d-The tax burden will not be even shared by every state leading to pay for poor states.
because sam adans was skeptical about constitutions for all the remaining reasons except the above one in his letter to richard henry lee.he thought if each state was under their own rule, the people would govern themselves better and society would be more democratic. However, the Sovereignty in these states would lead to an isolation that can make the country weak and to possible tensions between states. Being under one national government would bring a balance among the states.
Answer 2) e- He thinks the new constitution is completely unworkable form of government.
Because Henry thought that the American Revolution was, at root, a rebellion against the coercive power of the British government. In particular, it was a rebellion against unjust British taxes. Henry, therefore, thought it was madness for Americans to place that same kind of consolidated political authority over themselves again.
Certainly, there were many problems under the Articles of Confederation, mostly regarding the national government’s inability to craft coherent trade and economic policy. Part of this inefficiency was intentional, as the national authorities did not have the power to tax. When the Confederation Congress needed money, it had to issue requests for funding to the states. Often the states could not pony up.
