Read the following excerpt from Federalist #44 by James Madison.Had every State a right to regulate the value of its coin, there might be as many different currencies as States, and thus the [trade] among them would be impeded; [unexpected changes] in its value might be made, and thus the citizens of other States be injured, and animosities be kindled among the States themselves.

Read the following excerpt from Federalist #3 by John Jay.The number of wars which have happened or will happen in the world will always be found to be in proportion to the number and weight of the causes, whether REAL or PRETENDED, which PROVOKE or INVITE them.

A
Separate states are less likely to be economically prosperous.
B
Separate states are less likely to preserve peace with other nations.
C
Separate states are more likely to pass unfair taxes on citizens.
