question 5 (1 point)
which of the following was not a weakness of the national government under the articles of confederation?
a the articles did not give congress the power to enforce its laws.
b it could not pass a law unless 9 of the 13 states agreed.
c congress had no power to collect taxes to pay for the military.
d articles did not set up a very strong government, states got to keep their power and independence

Explanation:

For Question 4: The colonists had experienced British rule with a strong central authority. They were wary of concentrating too much power in a central government. The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government, which aligns with the colonists' desire to avoid excessive central power.
For Question 5: The fact that the Articles did not set up a very strong government and states kept their power and independence was a design feature (though it led to problems), not a weakness in the sense of an unintended flaw. The other options (lack of enforcement power, high - vote requirement for laws, no tax - collection power for the military) are clear weaknesses.

Answer:

Question 4: C. The colonists did not want to give up too much power to a central government.
Question 5: D. Articles did not set up a very strong government, states got to keep their power and independence.
