Question

question 5 (multiple choice worth 3 points)
how did the constitution improve on the articles of confederation regarding the executive branch?
created an executive branch where before there was none
established that the president is elected by state governors
reduced the power of the president to mere ceremony
assigned power to make laws to the executive branch

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation had no formal executive branch, relying on a weak legislative body. The U.S. Constitution addressed this by creating a distinct executive branch led by a president, which was a key improvement. The other options are incorrect: presidents are elected via the Electoral College (not state governors), the president has significant non-ceremonial power, and lawmaking power belongs to the legislative branch, not the executive.

Answer:

A. Created an executive branch where before there was none
