These weaknesses included a lack of centralized power, difficulty in passing laws, and challenges in raising funds.
2. Declaration of Independence - Affirmed "certain unalienable rights."
This statement is also correct. The Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776, affirmed the existence of "certain unalienable rights," such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It declared that governments were established to secure these rights and that people had the right to alter or abolish any government that violated their rights.
3. Virginia Declaration of Rights - Model for the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.
This statement is correct. The Virginia Declaration of Rights, adopted on June 12, 1776, served as a model for the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution. It outlined various individual rights, including freedom of speech, the press, religion, and the right to a fair trial.
4. Charters of the Virginia Company of London - Guaranteed rights of the King over the colonists.
This statement is incorrect. The Charters of the Virginia Company of London did not guarantee rights of the King over the colonists. Instead, these charters granted the Virginia Company of London control over the colonization of Virginia and its profits. The colonists who settled in Virginia were subject to the company's rules and regulations.

Charters of the Virginia Company of London - Guaranteed rights of the King over the colonists.
