Read the excerpt and answer the question that follows.
Excerpt: During the years the Articles of Confederation were in force (1781–1789), there were no national courts and no national judiciary. The laws of the United States were interpreted and applied as each state saw fit, and sometimes not at all. Disputes between states and between persons who lived in different states were decided, if at all, by the courts in one of the states involved. Often, decisions by the courts in one state were ignored by courts in the other states.
How did the Framers of the Constitution seek to resolve this problem with the Articles of Confederation? (Note: the term 'judiciary' just means a system of courts of law)
