Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Amendments to the Articles of Confederation had to be approved by all thirteen states.

The delegates to the Constitutional Convention found it easier to draft a new governing document because amending the Articles of Confederation would require unanimous approval from all thirteen states. This process was extremely difficult and time-consuming, as each state had its own interests and concerns that had to be addressed. On the other hand, drafting a new governing document allowed the delegates to start from scratch and create a more centralized and effective system of government.
