articles of confederation

it created an executive branch of government.

Explanation:

Analyze executive branch and military authority

• "It created an executive branch of government" matches the Constitution (the Articles of Confederation had no independent executive branch).
• "The national government is granted the authority to maintain an army and navy" matches the Constitution (under the Articles, the national government could not maintain a standing army directly and had to request troops from states).

Analyze amendment rules and sovereignty

• "Amendments require unanimous support of the states" matches the Articles of Confederation (the Constitution requires a two-thirds vote in Congress and three-fourths of the states).
• "State laws and the state constitution are supreme" matches the Articles of Confederation (the Constitution contains the Supremacy Clause, making federal law supreme).
