Explanation:

The military industrial complex is basically a situation when the government and the military under its control has the full intention to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with the private companies that produce the tools/equipment used by the military.

This tend to occurred when certain group of government representatives obtained their position in the government by using the help of interest groups controlled by weapons manufacturer.

As a result, these government representatives often made a lot of effort to justify the mobilization of military forces even when it's not really needed.

This can be seen in option C.

Even though a certain country is unfriendly to us, it doesn't really mean that we have to use our military to attack it. That type of decision usually influenced by Members of Congress who work under the control of private companies in weapons/defense industry.

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
