Mrs. Sue can you please help me?
Which answer best completes the following sentence?
Two advantages of a confederation are that it ______ and ______.
A: prevents abuse of power by a national government; preserves local identity
B: concentrates power in state governments; makes national government too weak to meet local needs
C: prevents abuse of power by state governments; preserves national identity
D: concentrates power in national government; makes national government strong enough to meet local needs
I think it's D

It might be B then, because states have more power than local governments.
The answer is B, right?
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options and evaluate each one:
A: This option states that a confederation prevents abuse of power by a national government and preserves local identity. While preventing abuse of power is indeed an advantage of a confederation, preserving local identity is not typically associated with a confederation.
B: This option suggests that a confederation concentrates power in state governments and makes the national government too weak to meet local needs. This is not considered an advantage, as it could lead to inefficiencies and difficulties in governing at a national level.
C: According to this option, a confederation prevents abuse of power by state governments and preserves national identity. While preventing abuse of power is not typically associated with a confederation, preserving national identity is not commonly considered an advantage.
D: This option claims that a confederation concentrates power in the national government and makes it strong enough to meet local needs. This is considered one of the advantages of a confederation, as it allows for a centralized authority capable of addressing the collective needs of different states or regions.
Based on a careful evaluation, option D is the correct answer as it accurately describes two advantages of a confederation: concentrating power in the national government and making it strong enough to meet local needs.
No.
