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.

Explanation:

The Age of Discovery also known as the Age of Exploration spanned between the 15th to 17th centuries. This period was marked by the distant travels of the Europeans to the East, Africa, and the New World. Europe was just recovering from the Black Deaths which marked the 1340's. The Christian church was not severely affected by the Black Deaths. When Constatinople was defeated by the Ottoman empire in 1453, the Europeans embarked on a journey to find new trade routes to expand the sales of their spices, because the Ottoman empire made trading difficult.

The new routes extended to Africa and Asia. As they made these explorations they carried along with them the Christian religion. It was on one of these explorations by Christopher Columbus to the West that led to the discovery of the America's.
