The correct answer is:
D. The Constitution provided for a strong central government with an elected executive, powerful legislature and the appointment of judges; the Articles provided only for a legislative branch.
Explanation:
<em>The Articles of Confederation were the first form of Constitution in the United States after the 13 colonies gained independence from Britain.</em> Under the Articles of Confederation the central government was weak, it controlled mostly foreign affairs but had no power over states' relations.<em> The Articles of Confederation paved the way for the Constitution of 1787</em> , when the members of the Constitutional Congress realized they needed to create a new form of government instead of fixing the already existing one.
The Constitution focused on creating a strong federal government, but prevented the abuse of its power by creating<u> an executive and a judicial branch, and a bicameral legislature</u> replacing the old legislature that the Articles of Confederation had.
