Question

which word best describes the central government that was created under the articles of confederation?
○ powerful
○ simplistic
○ weak
○ independent

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation established a central government with limited powers. It had no power to tax, regulate commerce, or enforce laws effectively. So the central government was weak. "Powerful" is incorrect as it lacked significant authority. "Simplistic" doesn't capture its main characteristic of limited power. "Independent" is not the best as the focus was on its lack of power, not independence.

Answer:

C. weak
