D. Tax the states.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States. It was known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the federal government.

With the Articles of Confederation, the government could not draft soldiers, regulate trade, amend the Articles, create and enforce laws properly, or even tax the states. In order to tax the states, the government had to outright request money from them. They had no power to tax them, only request money. This made it exceptionally hard to pay for war debts and other matters.

Over time, the support for the Articles of Confederation split. Some people supported it, while some didn't. The people who were in favor of the Articles of Confederation were called Anti-Federalists and they associated having a strong government with British tyranny. On the other hand, the people who wanted to amend the Articles of Confederation were called Federalists and they wanted to have a strong government.

Eventually, the Constitutional Convention 1787 was called to amend the Articles. While the original plan was just to amend them, they ended up getting scrapped altogether. The United States Constitution was created instead.

What did a Greek philosophers believe was most important in life?
Crank

Answer that I'll offer:  PURSUING WISDOM

There were many Greek philosophers, and their ideas were not all in agreement with each other.  But in general, the Greek philosophers all agreed that pursuing wisdom is the most important thing in life.  One of the earliest of Greek philosophers, Pythagoras (in the 6th century BC), is thought to have coined the term "philosopher."  The report is that Pythagoras did not want to claim to be a wise man who already had great wisdom, but that he was a "lover of wisdom" who sought to be wise.  In Greek, "philos" is a word for "love" and "sophia" is the word for wisdom.  So a "philosopher" is a "lover of wisdom."

The great philosopher Socrates (5th century BC) was famous for saying, "The unexamined life is not worth living."  He saw the goal of his life as constantly seeking wisdom -- and that what truly made him wise was recognizing how little he truly knew with certainty.

Other Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle and more followed in that tradition.  They did not all agree on all the details of what the best pattern is for life in this world.  But they did all seek wisdom as the most important thing in life.
