Why did american leaders need to draft a national constitution? check all of the boxes that apply.

A. Americans had broken away from British rule.

B. The thirteen colonies had declared themselves to be "united" states.

C. The Second Continental Congress lacked legal authority to act as a central government.

D. The Americans could not defeat Great Britain without a constitution.

Explanation:

The Articles formed a vague confederation of sovereign nations and a limited central government, giving most of the control with the state governments. The demand for an influential Federal government shortly became manifest and ultimately directed to the Constitutional Convention in 1787.

American leaders required to draft a state constitution to set law and to show organization in the nation. In reality, without the constitution, we wouldn't have the country of control we have now. If you think about it, without the constitution, people that aspire to become administrators could improve the way that this nation is governed, and hence there is no understanding what could result without the law.
