Question

why did people want to change the articles of confederation?
a. it was too popular.

b. it was working well.

c. it had too many laws.

d. it gave too much power to the states.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation had a major flaw in that it gave too much power to the states and left the federal government weak (unable to tax, regulate commerce effectively, etc.). Option A is incorrect as its popularity wasn't the reason for change. Option B is wrong because it was not working well (e.g., economic issues, lack of unity). Option C is incorrect as the number of laws wasn't the issue; the distribution of power was. So the correct reason for wanting to change it was that it gave too much power to the states.

Answer:

D. It gave too much power to the states.
