Answer 1

Answer:

American leaders called for the replacement of the Articles of Confederation because it made the central government too weak.

Option: (d)

Explanation:

• The Articles of Confederation had to be withdrawn and replaced with a Constitution because they dispensed too much of power and authority to the states and left the President to serve as a nominal head.

• The leaderships of states being too strong and free to form their own laws started behaving like independent entities.

• This ultimately created a threat to the unity of the nation.

• Moreover, many state leaders proposed that the federal government should get to exercise command over the state governments in order to secure broad and large national interests.
