The correct option that highlights a key difference between the U.S. Constitution and the Articles of Confederation is:

**The U.S. Constitution separated powers between the judicial, legislative, and executive branches.**

To elaborate, the Articles of Confederation established a weak central government with a unicameral legislature and did not separate powers into different branches.
