Question

Which statement best completes the table?

Answer 1

D. All states had to agree on changes to the articles.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States and was ratified in 1781. It was known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the federal government.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the government could not regulate trade, tax citizens, create and enforce laws properly, draft soldiers, and other important tasks. Another important task that the government had trouble doing was amending the Articles if needed. In order to amend or change the Articles of Confederation, all of the states had to agree to it.

While the Federalists wanted to change the Articles and make the government stronger, the Anti-Federalists did not and often associated having a strong government with British tyranny.

Eventually, the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called and it was originally meant to just fix the Articles of Confederation, but they ended up getting scrapped. The United States Constitution was created instead, which gave the government power.
