b) made the federal government dependent on the will of the states
c) offered each state the option to provide for its own independence
d) was to have effect only through the end of the war for independence

Answer 1

The answer is B, because the Articles of Confederation is considered a document that lacked a strong central government. 

Answer 2

b) made the federal government dependent on the will of the states

The Articles of Confederation followed the policy of "limited government" which made the national government reliant on the command of the states. The Articles of Confederation formed an ineffective central government and supplied the authority to the nations to interlace in whichever elements of inter-state enterprises it preferred to. The Constitution was broadly expressed in acknowledgment to the vulnerability of the central government as a consequence of the Articles of Confederation.
