Answer 1

The correct answer is:

**(Choice A)** colonial leaders' preference for local and state militias over a standing army in times of peace, as codified in the Articles of Confederation.

The term "minute men" specifically refers to the colonial militia members who could be ready to fight at a moment's notice, illustrating the reliance on local militias rather than a permanent standing army.
