Question 15 • American Government/Civics

If leaders wanted to create a government that is more effective than the government under the Articles of Confederation, which is the most important idea that should be embraced?

Answer
A
The state governments should be weak.
B
The federal government cannot be weak.
C
The federal and state governments should be equal.
D
The federal government must have an elected leader.

Explanation

Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government was too weak to enforce laws, raise taxes, or regulate trade effectively. To create a more effective government, leaders needed to give the federal government enough power to carry out its responsibilities. Therefore, the best choice is that the federal government cannot be weak.
