Answer:

This list of notes would be MOST useful to a student writing a research paper about the Articles of Confederation

Step-by-step explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the first U.S. written Constitution; it was characterized for establishing a very weak government and giving "sovereignty, freedom and independence" to the states. Under this document, the central government had to consist of a Congress only therefore, there was no executive branch to enforce the laws of Congress as it exists nowadays; likewise, the government had few enforcement powers and lacked the authority to collect taxes, to regulate interstate commerce or foreign trade, to declare war, to coin money, among others.
