Explanation:

1.4)

• "A prime minister was head of the government" is incorrect as the Articles of Confederation had no prime minister.
• "There was no President" is correct (the Articles had no executive branch with a president).
• "Each state had one vote in the Congress" is correct (under the Articles, each state had one vote in the Confederation Congress).
• "They gave Congress the power to tax the people" is incorrect (Congress had no power to tax; it could request funds from states).
• "It allowed the national government to make the states do certain things" is incorrect (the national government was weak and had little power over states).
• "It consisted of one legislature called the Confederation Congress" is correct (the Articles established a single - chamber legislature, the Confederation Congress).

After the American Revolution, most Americans feared a return to a tyrannical government (like British rule they had just fought against). A war with Britain was not the primary fear at this time in the context of the new nation - building. Drought was not a major fear related to the political context, and rebellion by enslaved people was not the most widespread fear among most Americans in this post - revolutionary context.

Answer:

• There was no President.
• Each state had one vote in the Congress.
• It consisted of one legislature called the Confederation Congress.
