To confirm if your answer choice A is correct, let's break down the question and review the options.
The Article of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States, which was adopted in 1781. It established a framework for government and defined the powers and limitations of the government. To determine if option A is correct, let's take a look at the other options as well.
B. The Northwest Ordinance - The Northwest Ordinance was an act passed by the Congress under the Articles of Confederation. It provided a process for admitting new states to the Union and established guidelines for governing the Northwest Territory. So this option does not directly correspond to the purpose of the Articles of Confederation.
C. A chief executive - The Articles of Confederation did not establish a chief executive or a President. It created a weak central government where the power was primarily held by the individual states.
D. The right of the legislature to assess taxes - This option is more aligned with the purpose of the Articles of Confederation. Under this system, the national government had limited power to collect taxes from the states, as it relied on voluntary contributions from each state.
Based on the information provided, it appears that option D, "The right of the legislature to assess taxes" is a more accurate description of what the Articles of Confederation called for.
