Answer:
The correct answer is D. The Works Progress Administration was able to build or renovate 110,000 public buildings (schools, post offices, government office buildings) and for constructing almost 600 airports, more than 500,000 miles of roads, and over 100,000 bridges; it also kept an average of 2.1 million workers employed and pumped needed money into the economy.
Explanation:
The Works Progress Administration was a government agency established during the Great Depression by President Roosevelt to help solve the massive unemployment problem at the time. It was the largest of the government agencies in the history of the United States created to set up relief and public works.
From 1935 to 1943, it provided jobs for about eight million people, costing about $11 billion. In almost every community in the United States, there are parks, bridges, and schools funded by the WPA. By 1940, it had built about 4,383 new school buildings, improved another 30,000, built 130 new hospitals, and improved another 1,670 hospitals.
Its largest single project was the Tennessee Valley Authority, whose mission was to build dams in the Tennessee Valley for power generation. Camp David and the Golden Gate Bridge were also built by the WPA.
The Articles of Confederation were far too weak to meet the needs of the newly created United States because of the massive decentralization the Articles contained.
They did not give the government any right to tax the people, and had to ask the states for taxes, and the states were not keen to pay them unless it benefited them. Often found were states not contributing to the pay of the Continental Army because it was not in their territory and defending them. This was also the reason Valley Forge was a disastrous winter for the Continental Army.
The Constitution fixed this by mandating budgets and making sure the states did in fact pay dues to the Gov't, later amended with (the supposed temporary) Federal income tax, starting after The Great War.
The other big failure is the lack of a requirement delegates be there, and the fact it requires every state to vote yes, an amendment to let the Confederation place import taxes to help pay the army was a washed failure because Rhode Island feared having their economy impacted horribly as they were so small they only had trade.
The New Constitution fixed this by making it so 3/4 of the states had to vote Aye to an amendment to the Constitution itself, and made the Federal Government itself handle passes legislation at it's own level with a majority rules, rather than all.
A four episode series from Extra History delve with a good amount of detail as to the Articles' other short comings, and what I elaborated on. Would strongly recommend a watch: https://youtu.be/C6rHSiN0vKk
