Explanation:

First Question (Enlightenment Ideal in Declaration and Constitution)

Enlightenment ideals include natural rights (life, liberty, property, later pursuit of happiness) that can't be taken by government. Option A is absolute monarchy (opposite of Enlightenment). Option B: Enlightenment supports right to overthrow tyrannical gov, so this is wrong. Option C: Not all people (women, enslaved, etc.) could vote, so this is incorrect. Option D matches natural rights concept.

Articles of Confederation had a weak central gov. Congress couldn't tax (so D is wrong, as Congress lacked tax power for national projects). No executive branch (so C about President leading 3 - branch is wrong, and there was no extensive Supreme Court then (A wrong). The President had little authority (no executive branch structure), so B is correct? Wait, re - check: Articles had no executive (President had very little authority, no three - branch lead). Wait, options: A: Extensive Supreme Court? No, Articles had no federal judiciary like that. B: Citizens voted in direct election? No, many states had different voting, and Articles had no direct national election structure. C: President lead three - branch? No, Articles had no three - branch, no strong executive. D: Congress tax for national projects? No, Congress couldn't tax. Wait, the question is negative consequence. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the correct negative consequence: Under Articles, Congress had no power to tax, so couldn't fund national projects (D is a negative consequence? Wait no, D says "Congress had the right to levy taxes to fund national projects" which is wrong. Wait, the options: Let's re - evaluate. The Articles of Confederation's weaknesses: no power to tax (so Congress couldn't fund projects), no executive (President had little authority, no three - branch), no federal courts (so A is wrong). So the negative consequence: which option is a negative result? Wait, the options:

• A: There was an extensive Supreme Court system. (Wrong, Articles had no federal judiciary like that)
• B: Citizens voted in a direct election. (Wrong, Articles had no direct national election mechanism)
• C: The President had very little authority to lead the three - branched government. (Wrong, there was no three - branched government under Articles, and no strong executive)
• D: Congress had the right to levy taxes to fund national projects. (Wrong, Congress couldn't tax)

Wait, maybe the correct answer is D? No, D is a false statement, but the question is "which was considered a negative consequence". Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the Articles of Confederation: Congress had no power to tax, so they couldn't fund national projects (like roads, defense). So the fact that Congress lacked the right to tax (so D is a wrong statement, but the negative consequence is that they couldn't, so D being a wrong statement is not the consequence. Wait, maybe the correct answer is D? No, let's check again. Wait, the options:

Wait, the question is "Which of the following was considered a negative consequence of the Articles of Confederation?"

Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: There was an extensive Supreme Court system. → The Articles of Confederation had no federal judiciary (let alone an extensive Supreme Court), so this is not a negative consequence (it's a false statement, not a consequence).
• Option B: Citizens voted in a direct election. → The Articles of Confederation had no provision for direct national elections (voting was mostly at the state level with different rules), so this is not a negative consequence (it's a false statement).
• Option C: The President had very little authority to lead the three - branched government. → The Articles of Confederation had no three - branched government (there was no executive branch in the sense of a President leading three branches; there was a weak executive - like figure, but no three - branch structure), so this is a false statement.
• Option D: Congress had the right to levy taxes to fund national projects. → Under the Article…

Answer:

D. Citizen's natural rights cannot be taken away by the government.
