Answer: Continental Congress

Explanation:

The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, on November 15, 1777, but the states did not ratify them until March 1, 1781. The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. Once peace removed the rationale of wartime necessity the weaknesses of the 1777 Articles of Confederation became increasingly apparent. Divisions among the states and even local rebellions threatened to destroy the fruits of the Revolution. Nationalists, led by James Madison, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Wilson, almost immediately began working toward strengthening the federal government. They turned a series of regional commercial conferences into a national constitutional convention at Philadelphia in 1787.

An 8-year-old child who scored like an average 10-year-old on an intelligence test would have a mental age of ________ and an iq

Sphinxa [80]

An 8-year-old child who scored like an average 10-year-old on an intelligence test would have a mental age of 10 and iq of 125

IQ = mental age ÷ Physical age × 100
In this case,
Mental age= 10
Physical age= 8

So, the iq calculation is:
IQ = 10/8 x 100
IQ = 1.25 x 100
IQ = 125
