Which statement best explains how the u.s. constitution addressed a weakness of the articles of confederation?
nlexa [21]
The statement best explains how the Constitution addressed a weakness in the Articles of Confederation is : C) Congress had no way to enforce or interpret the laws it passed, so the Constitution created the executive and judicial branches of the federal government. to put it simply, when the constitution was first made, American people still had no basic experience for running a govenrment, so we made a couple of mistakes that eventually were revised
