Question

select the correct answer. what feature of a confederal system did the confederate states of america most want? a. a powerful central government to oppose state governments b. a government focused on growing industrial strength and a big economy c. a limited central government linking independent states d. an authoritarian government that controls the society

Explanation:

A confederal system is defined by a weak central government with most power held by independent states. The Confederate States of America sought to preserve state sovereignty, so they wanted a limited central government that linked independent states. Option A is incorrect as a confederal system has a weak central government, not a powerful one opposing states. Option B is about industrial/economic focus, not confederal structure. Option D is about authoritarian control, which isn't a confederal feature.

Answer:

C. a limited central government linking independent states
