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 correct answer is C) life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The freedom of speech, assembly, and religion are all part of the Bill of Rights, what is written within the US Constitution- not the Declaration of Independence. This is also true for the right to vote, to bear arms, and the right to remain silent.
The idea of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was a critical part of the Declaration of Independence. These values emphasized how the newly independent American citizens valued the ability to make their own decisions.
