Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Your answer of option B is correct. The main weakness of the Articles of Confederation was that the powers granted to the central or national government were limited. The Articles of Confederation established a weak central government with most authority held by the individual states. Congress had limited power to enforce its laws or regulate trade, making it difficult to maintain order and unity among the states. The lack of a strong central government led to many challenges, such as the inability to effectively coordinate national defense, settle disputes between states, and establish a consistent economic system.
