The correct answer here would be C. The usual story goes that Confederation Congress only assigned them to propose the amendments to the Articles but instead they created an entirely new document. This is their reason, among others but none of them are correct as the Convention did not exceed its authority. The Confederation Congress for one was not a government in the true sense of the word. It was more an alliance like NATO. The convention was a also a meeting about just more than the Articles. The convention was beyond the Congress and its opinion was nothing more than that, just an opinion. Furthermore all 13 states ratified the Constitution. So no the Convention did not exceed its authority.

4. What does Sinclair mean by the quote, "honeycombed with rottenness"? Be detailed. *
k0ka [10]
When Upton Sinclair said, “I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach,” he likely meant that his novel The Jungle made people more outraged about the meat they were eating than the injustices facing the typical meat industry employee.
