Question

1. Suppose that the Articles of Confederation are still in force and that a resolution has been proposed that would abolish the executive committee and replace it with a president. Now suppose that, out of the thirteen states, only Pennsylvania did not support the resolution. Which of the following could happen?

B. The resolution would fail

D. The resolution would fail unless the executive committee backed it.

IS IT A?

Answer 1

No, it is not A. Read Article 13 of the Articles.

Answer 2

Ok so it would be B then? Hmm because the online book I use says that if there is permission from at least 9 states, a resolution can be passed.

Answer 3

B. the resolution would fail
