why was the first draft of the articles of confederation revised?
it assured the independence of the states.
it stated that the central government wouldnt control western lands.
it proposed a strong central government.
it proposed a limited function of the central government.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation's first draft was revised because the initial draft proposed a strong central government, which the states (fearing too much central power, as they had just broken from British rule) opposed. The other options: assuring state independence was a goal of the final Articles, not a reason for revision; the central government not controlling western lands was not the main revision reason; and the final Articles had a limited central government, but the first draft's strong central proposal led to revision. So the correct option is the one about proposing a strong central government.

Answer:

C. It proposed a strong central government. (Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the third option as C; adjust label if needed based on actual numbering, but the content is "It proposed a strong central government.")
