Siena Khan · Answer 1

The Articles of Confederation preserved the independence of the states by creating a weak central government.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

This Articles of Confederations provided more authority to the states. States were allowed to take their own decisions and the central government exercised power only in the form of a legislature. But it limited the powers to the central governments.

It could not exercise powers like a common currency or a common law system, eventually leading it to become a disastrous decision. This was inspired by Magna Carta which limited King John's powers.

D

Explanation:
