The correct answer is:
D. The Constitution provided for a strong central government with an elected executive, powerful legislature and the appointment of judges; the Articles provided only for a legislative branch.
Explanation:
<em>The Articles of Confederation were the first form of Constitution in the United States after the 13 colonies gained independence from Britain.</em> Under the Articles of Confederation the central government was weak, it controlled mostly foreign affairs but had no power over states' relations.<em> The Articles of Confederation paved the way for the Constitution of 1787</em> , when the members of the Constitutional Congress realized they needed to create a new form of government instead of fixing the already existing one.
The Constitution focused on creating a strong federal government, but prevented the abuse of its power by creating<u> an executive and a judicial branch, and a bicameral legislature</u> replacing the old legislature that the Articles of Confederation had.
Answer: The Lincoln Memorial
The 1871 Enforcement Acts consisted of several important Civil Rights Acts passed by Congress during the Reconstruction Era. The purpose of the Enforcement Acts was to implement and extend the fundamental guarantees of the Constitution to all citizens and protect African Americans from violence perpetrated by the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). The Enforcement Acts are therefore also referred to as the 1871 Civil Rights Act or the Ku Klux Klan Act.
