Final answer:

The author argues that the taxation structure under the Articles of Confederation threatens the economic well-being of the United States.


Explanation:

The author's argument in Robert Morris' letter to the president of Congress in 1782 is that the taxation structure under the Articles of Confederation poses a serious threat to the economic well-being of the United States.

During the postwar years, the central government lacked a dedicated source of revenue to meet financial obligations, leading to economic challenges. Morris proposed measures like imposing a tax on foreign imports, but facing opposition, resulting in financial struggles for the nation.
