Wrong
your wrong is wrong
Well, look at you, wanting to make sure you've got your facts right! I admire that. So, let me give you a hint: when in doubt, choose the silliest answer. Now, take a moment to look at those options again. Do you really think the leaders wanted to make sure all states had the same constitution? That sounds about as likely as fitting a square peg into a round hole. So, eliminate that one, and I think you'll be left with the answer that delegates thought the colonies needed to be united. And trust me, nothing brings people together like a good old-fashioned can of metaphorical confederation.
To determine the correct answer to this question, we need to carefully analyze each option and understand the historical context of the Articles of Confederation.
1. States needed to be sure that they maintained control over their land.
While it is true that states wanted to retain control over their land, this specific reason does not directly explain the establishment of the Articles of Confederation. The fear of losing control over their land was more relevant during the debates surrounding the later Constitution.
2. Colonies wanted to show Britain that they were an organized union.
This option is not accurate, as the Articles of Confederation were established after the American Revolution, and the purpose was to provide a framework for governing the newly independent states, rather than to prove their organization to Britain.
3. Delegates thought that the colonies needed to be united.
This statement is true and accurately reflects the main reason behind the establishment of the Articles of Confederation. The delegates realized the need for a united approach to address common issues and protect the interests of the states collectively.
4. Leaders wanted to make sure that all states had the same constitution.
This option is not correct because each state had its own constitution under the Articles of Confederation. The focus was on establishing a loose confederation where states retained significant autonomy.
Based on the analysis, option 3 - Delegates thought that the colonies needed to be united - is the most accurate answer.
