The reason that best illustrates why the federal government could not maintain order in the new nation is: b) State approval was required to pass laws.

During the time of the Articles of Confederation, the federal government lacked the power to enforce its laws directly upon the states. This meant that for any significant decision or law to pass, it required approval from the individual states, leading to inefficiencies and difficulties in implementing cohesive policies or maintaining order across the nation
