Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Under the Articles of Confederation, what would be considered an accomplishment of the national government, would be, E: Passing ordinances for establishing settlement of western territories.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the first legal framework under which the newly formed United States was bound to act. One of the most important achievements of this precursor to the United States Constitution was the placing under control the conflicts that arose between the states in the original union regarding freed territories that were to be annexed into the country. As different states demanded to be given rights over these now free lands, conflicts arose between them and the Articles of Confederation managed to establish a series of Ordinances that placed an end to this conflict and instituted the rules by which these new territories would be governed.
