Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide options or the statements, we can say that statement expresses an assumption behind the articles of confederation that is not behind the US constitution could be the following: "the main principle of the Articles of Confederation was the

the sovereignty of organized power and the independence of the separate or disunited States."

Then, President Adams continued saying that according to the US Constitution, the role of the central government was to serve the citizens of the United States and that each state had to resolve their own administrative issues.

Let's remember that the Articles of Confederation was the first US Constitution, but left a weak central government that depended so much on the states. That is why delegates met at the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia in 1787, to sign the United States Constitution.
