Answer:

The sea captain was the sincere mourner.

Explanation:

The fact that the British government paid for every prisoner that made it to Australia meant that every sea captain would be careful not to lose any prisoner on his ship, as the survival of every prisoner was an economical benefit to the captain. The captain will sincerely mourn the loss of any dead prisoner, not for the love of the prisoner, but for the loss of money on his side.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation, ratified by the Second Continental Congress in 1777, gave the central government very limited powers that in the end proved ineffective.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government could not collect taxes or raise an standing army. In a time when Britain was still a threat to the American independence, this was inconvenient.

This is the reason why the founding fathers decided to meet again and draft a new constitution that adopts a federal system with a central government that can collect taxes and keep an standing army. It is the current U.S. Constitution.
