a) worked exclusively with granite.

b) focused primarily on religious topics.
eliminate

c) refused to accept payments from wealthy political or religious patrons.

d) used light, shadow, and perspective to carefully recreate the human form.

Renaissance artists tried to make their works look more photorealistically possible. Together with the careful use of light and the study of human anatomy, they tried to have a harmonious proportion of the human body, which was not the case in medieval art. They used a natural background, rather than medieval with biblical motives. Although, in some countries of northern Europe, the artist's motives were biblical, unlike the Italian Renaissance artists. But the Renaissance style was still present in northern Europe because one of the dominant characteristics was the study and emphasis of the human body within the biblical motives.

The answer is D)

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. 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. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
