i'm stuck between A and C
Yes. C is correct.
The correct answer is c. a loose alliance of states.
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the options given:
a. strong and unified - This option describes a centralized and powerful national government, which is not characteristic of the government under the Articles of Confederation. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
b. headed by a king - The government under the Articles of Confederation did not have a monarchy or a king. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
c. a loose alliance of states - This option accurately describes the nature of the government under the Articles of Confederation. The national government was a weak confederation where the states retained a significant amount of power.
d. divided into three branches - The division of government power into three branches (executive, legislative, and judicial) is a characteristic of the later United States Constitution, not the Articles of Confederation. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
By the process of elimination, we can determine that the correct answer is c. a loose alliance of states.
