It made it a central government with the ability to raise an army.

B. a weak central government

Explanation:

One of the advantages of Articles of Confederation was a weak central government because this meant that the sovereignty and independence of each individual state was maintained.

The Article of Confederation was adopted in 1977 to a young and developing America and this enabled colonial states to come together in times of war and form a central government that could send emissaries abroad and handle territorial issues. This central government was intentionally made weak so the individual colony states would maintain sovereignty and maintain its laws and in a sense be free from unwanted interruptions from the central government.

thomas jefferson is the answer

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
