Franco Galloway · Answer 1

The correct answer is A. There was no national court system.

Indeed, the other options refer to law-making or the economy whereas option A refers to law enforcement. Without a court system how could a nation that was supposed to be democratic have a semblance of rule of law, let alone be able to put criminal offenders to trial? It was with the creation of a national court system that this issue was appropriately solved.
