Question

which of the following was not provided for by the articles of confederation? multiple choice an independent federal executive unanimous approval by the states to amend the articles each state having one vote in congress a national congress a federal government subordinate to the states

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the Articles of Confederation:

• "unanimous approval by the states to amend the Articles" was required (so this was provided).
• "each state having one vote in Congress" was a provision (each state had one vote).
• "a national Congress" was established (the Confederation Congress existed).
• "a federal government subordinate to the states" was true (the federal government under the Articles was weak and subordinate to states).
• "an independent federal executive" was not provided. The Articles had no independent executive branch; there was no president or similar independent executive.

Answer:

A. an independent federal executive
