The correct answer is **C. It granted a number of powers to the federal government.**
The US Constitution established a stronger federal government compared to the Articles of Confederation, which had created a much weaker national structure with limited powers. The Constitution allowed the federal government to levy taxes, regulate interstate commerce, and maintain a standing army, among other powers, which were absent or poorly defined in the Articles of Confederation.
