Answer:

A By forcing Spain to cede Puerto Rico after the Spanish-American War

Explanation:

On November 25, 1897, the Government of Madrid recognized the autonomy of the island, whereby Puerto Rico ceased to exist as a colony. Instead, it became the overseas autonomous province of Spain exactly on par with other Spanish provinces. The Puerto Ricans thus became Spanish nationals and allowed Puerto Rico to have full representation before the Spanish courts in Madrid. The following year, Spain was forced to cede the island to the United States after its defeat in the Spanish-American War.

Which speaker would most likely support the government established by the Articles of Confederation?

Amanda [17]

The correct answer is "Speaker 2".

The centralization of power was a matter of much debate during the Constitutional Congress of 1777. During the elaboration of the draft that would become the United State's constitution, points like the checks and balances between powers and state representation came into question. A group of the members at the meeting supported a stronger federal government, while others supported a more decentralized one, limiting the power of the federal government by granting more attributions to the states.
