Question

under the articles of confederation, individual states could ignore agreements the congress made with other countries. this meant that: a. the central government was not always able to keep its agreements. b. the government did not have the ability to pay its debts. c. every state had to agree on a law before it was passed. d. each state had the same number of representatives in the central government.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government. If individual states could ignore agreements Congress made with other countries, it shows the central government couldn't enforce its own agreements. Option B is about debt - paying ability (not related to ignoring agreements). Option C is about law - passing (not the main point here). Option D is about representation (not relevant to ignoring agreements).

Answer:

A. the central government was not always able to keep its agreements.
