Question

2.1.2 quiz: arguments and compromises
speaker 1: our victory in the revolutionary war proved that americans have the wisdom to choose good leaders.
speaker 4: as former colonies, the american states are likely to thrive under a system of strong centralized government.
which speaker would most likely support the government established by the articles of confederation?
a. speaker 2
b. speaker 1
c. speaker 3
d. speaker 4

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation created a weak central - government. Speaker 4 supports a strong centralized government, so it's not Speaker 4. There is no clear indication from Speaker 2 and Speaker 3 about their stance on the strength of the central government. Speaker 1's statement about Americans choosing good leaders doesn't directly relate to the strength of the central government. Since there is no clear - cut positive stance on the Articles of Confederation among these speakers based on the given statements, but if we assume that the lack of a call for a strong central government (as in Speaker 4) is in line with the Articles of Confederation's weak central - government nature, and since no other information strongly links a speaker to the Articles of Confederation, we can't be certain from these statements. However, if we have to choose, Speaker 1 has no statement against the Articles of Confederation's weak central - government structure.

Answer:

B. Speaker 1
