Question

A.

B.
The Articles angered state leaders by giving the central government too much power.

C.
The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government that had to be strengthened.

D.
The Articles of Confederation were only designed to last through the Revolutionary War.

Answer 1

C. The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government that had very little power and control over the states. The lack of a strong central government led to many problems, such as economic issues, interstate conflicts, and difficulty effectively dealing with foreign powers. As a result, the Constitution was created to establish a stronger federal government that could more effectively govern the country.
