mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page)

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the Articles of Confederation:

• Option A: The Articles of Confederation did not give the central government the power to regulate interstate commerce. States had more economic control.
• Option B: There was no president under the Articles of Confederation (the government was a Confederation Congress), so there were no presidential decisions to veto.
• Option C: The Articles of Confederation established a government with no executive branch (no president). This is accurate.
• Option D: There was no central court system under the Articles of Confederation; each state had its own courts.

Answer:

C. There was no president.
