Question 9 • CCPS Georgia Studies 8 (45.00900) YL IC

Which best explains why the central government under the Articles was weak?

Answer
A
It did not allow elected officials to express their views.
B
It set up a legislative branch, but no executive or judicial branches.
C
It did not establish a capital city for the new nation.
D
It set up a monarchy that did not have popular support.

Explanation

The Articles of Confederation created a national legislature, but the central government had no separate executive branch to enforce laws and no national judicial branch to interpret them. This made it difficult for the government to carry out and apply its decisions. Choice B correctly describes this limited structure.
