Question

which of the following is one of the weaknesses of the articles of confederation that was addressed by making the president the commander in chief of the army and navy and of the state militias when called into national service?
absence of a judiciary that was independent of the state courts
lack of regulation of interstate commerce
lack of an independent executive authority
lack of voting powers of the common people to choose their president
inability of the congress to force the states to meet military quotas

Explanation:

This addressed the lack of an independent executive authority as there was no single leader with significant executive powers under the Articles.
