The most important piece of legislation that allows federally chartered banks to compete more directly with state-chartered banks was when lending limits for federal banks were increased.

Option C

Explanation:

The lending limits of the federal banks were increased by the Garn–St Germain Act, passed in the year of 1982, by which national  bank lending limits were raised. Thus, these banks were capable and allowed as well to compete better and directly with state-chartered banks.

Though differences continued between them to erode in the remaining years of the decade of the 1980s, as supervisors of federal banks instituted  uniform capital banks requirements.

In the year of 1991, Federal Deposit Insurances Corporation Improvements Act was passed which further narrowed down the difference between the two by limiting the investments along with other activities of state banks to  those permissible for national banks.

the main concern with the first draft of the articles of confederation was too much power in the state governments.

the answer is that the political parties encourage people to caste vote.
