Explanation:

Question 19

• Option a: The Articles of Confederation was not written by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was involved in writing the Declaration of Independence.
• Option b: The Articles of Confederation was not ratified quickly. It took time as states debated and agreed.
• Option c: The Articles of Confederation did not create a National Bank. The First National Bank was established later under the Constitution.
• Option d: The Articles of Confederation took several years (from 1777 to 1781) to be ratified as states had to approve it, and there were debates over issues like western land claims.

• The Currency Act of 1764 aimed to control colonial currency. It favored a gold - based system (a), stopped new bill issues (c), and prohibited existing currency issues (d). Establishing a new court system was not part of the Currency Act of 1764; it was related to currency regulation, not court systems.

Answer:

d. It took several years to be ratified
