d is not right

To determine what the founders meant when they wrote "to form a more perfect union," we can refer to the historical context of the phrase. It is a line from the preamble of the United States Constitution. The phrase suggests that the founders aimed to improve upon the current system of government present at the time (under the Articles of Confederation) and create a stronger and more effective union.

Option A is unlikely the correct answer because the formation of a military is not explicitly mentioned in the phrase "to form a more perfect union." While defense against foreign threats was an important aspect of the new government, it is not directly related to this particular phrase.

Option C, the creation of a process to solve disputes between states, has some relevance since one of the main reasons the Constitution was written was to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, which struggled to resolve interstate disputes. However, the phrase itself does not explicitly mention disputes between states.

Option B, the formation of a court system to resolve disputes between citizens, could be a possibility. The phrase "to form a more perfect union" could indicate the need for a strong judicial system to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law within the new government. Establishing a court system was indeed a key aspect of the new Constitution.

Option D, the creation of a bill of rights to protect citizens' liberties, is also a valid consideration. Although the specific phrase does not directly refer to a bill of rights, the idea of a "more perfect union" suggests the founders were striving for a government that would safeguard the rights and freedoms of its citizens. This notion aligns with the purpose of a bill of rights.

Considering the context and interpretation of "to form a more perfect union," both options B (a court system to resolve disputes) and D (a bill of rights to protect citizens' liberties) could be valid choices.

I think it is d

Neither b nor d is correct.

You're on your own now.
