The correct answer is A. During the Articles of Confederation, Congress could declare war if needed.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the first government document of the United States of America, sanctioned in 1777 after the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

These Articles united the Thirteen Colonies in a Confederation governed by the Continental Congress, which exercised both the executive power and the legislative power of the nation.

The purpose of this form of national organization was the union of the former colonies to carry out the war against Britain, so the Continental Congress had broad powers to declare war, carry it out and conduct foreign relations. In all other matters, its capacity was limited by the powers of each particular state.
