Which was true of the authors of the articles of confederation?

a. they didn’t believe in the rights of state governments

b. they feared a strong national government

c. they distrusted representative systems of government

B. They feared a strong national government

Explanation:

Created at a time when the fear of the central government was still too strong, the Confederation initially arose rather as a union of states than a state association, and had very limited powers. It did not have the right to impose taxes and regulate trade, which remained the prerogative of the states themselves. The Confederation could only pass laws if they were approved by nine out of thirteen states. Each state could veto any law restricting its sovereign rights.

the conditions that made the byzantine empire vulnerable to attacks by the muslin turks were the sack of constantinople by western crusaders, the conquests of the sultanate of rum, presence of rival kingdoms and finally the set up of fiefdoms at the empire which were owned by the ghazis (turkish warriors).
