Question 48 • FL-2106010-M/J Civics A

All of the following statements about the Articles of Confederation are true EXCEPT:

Answer
A
They gave each state one vote in Congress.
B
They were the first written plan for the government of the United States.
C
They gave the national government control over domestic affairs of the states.
D
They gave Congress the power to raise an army and navy as well as make war and peace.

Explanation

The Articles of Confederation created a weak national government and left most domestic affairs under state control. Therefore, the statement that they gave the national government control over the states’ domestic affairs is false. The Articles did give each state one vote in Congress and gave Congress authority over war and peace and military matters.
