Question

The article of confederation set up a ______ government

Answer 1

Answer:

What is Federal government

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation established a small central (aka federal) government and gave a majority of the power to state governments.

Under the Articles of Confederation, there was no executive branch (president) and there were no national courts. Rather, there was a legislative branch in which each state had one representative.

In order to make a change to the Articles of Confederation all 13 states had to agree on a change. To make a new national law, a supermajority was neededd (9/13). These procedures and rules made the Articles of Confederation a highly ineffective form of government. This is why it would be replaced by the US Constitution.
