in 1787, a convention was held to discuss how to address the weaknesses of the articles of confederation.
which statement best reflects the position of someone who was arguing that a new federal constitution was needed to address these weaknesses?
a. all laws must be enforceable, or the government will have no power.
b. all laws must be fair to all states, or the national government will not survive.
c. all laws must protect individual rights, or the national government will be a dictatorship.
d. all laws about taxes must receive support from the states, or the national government will not have enough money.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation had weak central - government issues. A key argument for a new federal Constitution was the need for enforceable laws to give the government power. The other options focus on fairness, individual rights, and tax support, but the lack of enforceability was a major weakness of the Articles.

Answer:

A. All laws must be enforceable, or the government will have no power.
