Answer 1

The correct answer is: The Constitution provided a more centralized government.

This option highlights how the Constitution sought to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, which created a loose confederation of states with a weak central government. The Constitution established a stronger federal government with the ability to levy taxes, regulate commerce, and enforce laws.
