1. The difference between a bond and a stock is that stocks are shares that represent ownership in a company, and bonds are a form of long-term debt where you invest your money (essentially, a business loans money FROM you and promises to pay it back by a certain date). You should see a sizable return at the end of a bond's maturity date.
2. What makes a mutual fund an attractive investing option is that it is a diversified portfolio of different investments, such as bonds and stock. Since it is more spread out there is less overall risk.
3. A commercial bank differs from a Savings and Loan (S&L) association because S&L associations are more focused on residential mortgage, whereas commercial banks work more with large businesses.
4. A commercial bank differs from a credit union because most credit unions are not-for-profit establishments with their earnings paid back in the form of lower loan rates and higher savings rates. Commercial banks are for-profit and whatever they earn are paid back to stockholders only.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide options or the statements, we can say that statement expresses an assumption behind the articles of confederation that is not behind the US constitution could be the following: "the main principle of the Articles of Confederation was the
the sovereignty of organized power and the independence of the separate or disunited States."
Then, President Adams continued saying that according to the US Constitution, the role of the central government was to serve the citizens of the United States and that each state had to resolve their own administrative issues.
Let's remember that the Articles of Confederation was the first US Constitution, but left a weak central government that depended so much on the states. That is why delegates met at the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia in 1787, to sign the United States Constitution.
