Which statement best explains how the Constitution addressed a weakness in the Articles of Confederation?
A. State militaries were more powerful than the federal army, so the
Constitution required each state to send a percentage of its
population to defend the country.
B. The federal government did not have enough power to enforce its
laws, so the Constitution gave the federal government more power
than the states.
C. States were able to make individual trade agreements with foreign
countries, so the Constitution made it illegal for a state
representative to meet with a foreign diplomat.
D. The federal government was inefficient because its power was
divic into three branches, so the Constitution created a single
federal government office led by the president.
