The chart below relates to historical documents. Based on the chart, how did the Constitution resolve issues that existed under the Articles of Confederation?

A. The Constitution provided for checks and balances.
B. The Constitution established the principle of social contract.
C. The Constitution reserved more responsibilities to the states.
D. The Constitution delegated more authority to the federal government.

The answer is A and D.

A: Since AOC had given too much power to the states, the federal government ended up not being able to do basic things like collecting taxes. The Constitution allowed the power to be balanced and separated out so that other branches are able to veto laws that are unfair and to call out a branch if the act unfairly.

D: Same thing here. It gave more power to the federal government, but still gave some to the states so they can manage things the federal government doesn’t need too.

Choose both if you are able to. Else, choose option D as it is more accurate and straight forward.
