Why did some American Leaders oppose the idea of declaring independence?

After each answer, a short response to the answer is provided.

The right answers are BOLDED.

(A) Honestly, this would be one of my concerns, but at the time, it definitely wasn't a real concern, considering starting a war was concerning their rights and independence as a nation.

(B) Who wants to fight a war they'll probably lose?

(C) Honestly, they were rebelling against this, so why would they even consider this a factor when fighting against it?

(D) This is the Loyalist type of thinking. When you still consider yourself a person of a certain country, and pride yourself in it, you don't really want to rebel against your "own" country.

it the big letter b heart my answer

question: write a report analyzing through articles of confederation.

answer: the articles of confederation the united states constitution was written when the people feared strong government the new nation needed some kind of organization to hold states together to them fend off future attacks and make a stronger support system through the states and people the states bonded through a friendship that best served as a defense against a invasion and states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations the strengths were that the congress has the highest power in the nation because of   fear of monarchy congress had the sole power to declare war and assign treaties disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress and weaknesses were the lack of power given to congress the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws if a state did not support a federal law that state could simply ignore it congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade.

explanation: so like every argument they have strengths and weaknesses but in this case there were more weaknesses but they managed o get through it and make an agreement
