Which one of the following provisions was part of the first draft of the Articles of Confederation submitted to the Second Conti
nental Congress? a. Appointment of George Washington as commander of the Continental Army
b. Limited and restricted functions for the central government
c. Denial of the right for Congress to levy taxes
d. Government control over the unsettled western lands
