Answer 1

The best explanation of the benefits of the Articles of Confederation is:

• The Articles of Confederation contributed to an increasing sense of national unity.

The Articles did establish a framework for cooperation between the states and helped to foster a sense of collective identity, even though they were ultimately weak in terms of central authority. The other options are inaccurate since the Articles of Confederation did not create a strong national government, nor did they establish an executive or judicial branch.
