Question

Which statement BEST describes the power of government provided by the Articles of Confederation?

Answer 1

C) The states had more power than the national government.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an attempt to be unlike the British government, the Second Continental Congress created a government in which there was no one person ‘in charge’ (no King or President). This fear of a national government caused them to create a nation in which the states had more power than the national government. It was doomed to fail.

Answer 2

The states had more power than the national government.
