Question

Which statement accurately describes the Articles of Confederation?

It created a central government with only a legislative branch-ly
It created a central government with both a legislative and a judicial branch.
It created a central government with both an executive and a judicial branch.
It created a central government with only an executive branch.

Answer 1

It created a central government with only a legislative branch.

The reason why is because of the fear that the government could turn into a British-styled government, and “oppress” the citizens with heavy taxes and other measures. So by creating a weak central government, many who feared an oppressive government forming would not argue against the articles of confederation being signed.

Hope this helps!
