Question

which of the following does the author use to support his argument about the power of the states under the confederation?
a foundational political documents written during the american revolution
b journals written by leaders of the continental army
c arguments eventually published as the federalist papers
d treaties signed with great britain and france

Explanation:

Foundational political documents written during the American Revolution (such as state constitutions) were key in showing the power of states under the Confederation. These documents defined state - level governance, rights, and powers. The Continental Army leaders' journals would focus more on military aspects. The Federalist Papers were against the weaknesses of the Confederation (arguing for a stronger federal government). Treaties signed with Britain and France were more on international relations and less about internal state power under the Confederation.

Answer:

A. Foundational political documents written during the American Revolution
