Which of these documents was written to guide the new country through the war and to show its legitimacy as a nation? a. the first amendment b. the constitution c. the declaration of independence d. the articles of confederation?

D. The Articles of Confederation

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was an agreement that was created by the original 13 states of the United States. This agreement was intended to guide the new country as it began the process of obtaining independence from Great Britain. The Articles were also written with the intention of showing the legitimacy of the new country as a nation. The document served as the first Constitution of the newly formed United States of America.

the main reason that the constitution did not proclaim all men to be free and equal is because of the issue of slavery.
