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.
The writings of Jean Bodin provides us with an early theorisation of the idea of sovereignty even though the examples he uses are quite extensive. Essential to Bodin's notion of sovereignty is that the power the sovereign holds must be absolute and permanent. If a ruler holds absolute power for the duration of his life he can be said to be sovereign. In contrast, an elected official or some other person that holds limited powers can not be described to be sovereign. Although at times Bodin suggests that the people are sovereign, his definition of sovereignty as absolute, unlimited and enduring power points purposively towards a positive association of sovereignty and a singular monarchical, or even tyrannical, power.
Another qualification that Bodin introduces into the definition of sovereignty as absolute and perpetual is one that will become increasingly important in subsequent theorisations, culminating in the work of Carl Schmitt. For Bodin, a sovereign prince is one who is exempt from obedience to the laws of his predecessors and more importantly, those issued by himself. Sovereignty rests in being above, beyond or excepted from the law. Although it occupies a subordinate place in Bodin's theorisation, it could be said that this exception from being subject to the law is the quintessential condition of sovereignty in so far as it is understood politically.
Although for Bodin sovereignty is characterised by absolute and perpetual power he goes on to make a series of important qualifications to this concept. These come from two principle concerns. The first is real politics - Bodin seems to be aware that absolute power could licence behaviour injurious to sovereign authority. Hence for example a sovereign cannot and should not confiscate property nor break contractual agreements made with other sovereigns, estates nor private persons. The second reason is Bodin's underlying theological notion of divine authority and natural law. A sovereign may put aside civil law, but he must not question natural law (in which it appears right of property is sanctioned). Saying this, it is ultimately from this divine authority that the earthly right of sovereign power is legitimated. The prince literary does god's bidding, and yet by virtue of this can do wrong. Hopefully this helps out some :)

<u>Explanation:</u>
While Mesopotamia's dirt was fruitful, the locale's semiarid atmosphere did not have a lot of precipitation, with under ten inches yearly. This, at first, made cultivating troublesome. Two significant waterways in the area the Tigris and Euphrates - gave a wellspring of water that empowered wide-scale cultivating.
In contrast to the more bound together civic establishments of Egypt or Greece, Mesopotamia was an accumulation of changing societies whose lone genuine bonds were their content, their divine beings, and their frame of mind toward women.
