The correct answer is A.
Due to the long distance between the colonies and England, the British allowed colonist to set up local governments and tax themselves. They allowed their collonies to self-govern for practical reasons.
On the other hand, French collonies were completely subjected to the French king, and did not posses any form of self-government.
The Articles of Confederation offered zero system of courts in the jurisdiction of the national government. This had meant the entire judiciary branch was completely dependent on the states.
