Could i get some help please?

Answer 1

C is as close as can be realistic of the options you offer.

However, those who wrote the articles put the reasons for doing so in Article III which states:
The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other for their common defense, the security of their liberties. and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any other pretense whatever.

However, that must be considered within the context of Article II which states:
Each State retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every power, jurisdiction and right which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.

It should also be kept in mind that the Articles, while being a compact, they were not a compact among peoples or between people and the government, but a compact among sovereign States. These States would not have made compact without the war.

Answer 2

It sounds like you are on some kind of sociology course. The real answer might be 300 pages. But I will try in a few lines, which is what your courrse needs.
A. No. There was a need at thatr time to get away from the British. I'm a Brit, and I agree with what the founding fathers did. The Brits at that time were brutal. It was time to be free.
B. No. There was no need for that. The de facto government was already in place.
C. Youu must be joking. By that time, pro-british sentiment must have come to an all time low. Almost to the point of "see a Brit, kill a Brit! Glad that I was'ntt in the US of A back then.
D. Now you hit gold dust. Hundreds of thousands of north Americans at that time wanted to be free men,.They worked long and hard houirs, they built companies, they would not accept some stupid guy in government, certianly not from the UK. Their dream was to, free of England, free of aggression and control from their own countrymen.

Free from their own government. So was born the right to carry arms.The problem that that solves is if you have a bad government then they have soldiers who can kill you unless you obey. This is still the case in China, the biggest country in the world

If you think that that article is wrong, just look at the monks in Asia recently> They are headed for prison camps where they will get sick and die. Just the same as the priests in China, Vietnam, and so on. Keep the fight up, and if it means buying guns to keep your people free...

Yes, the gun law is dangerous. But without it, how can you fight a government that has gone nuts? Piss your pants and give up?

Seems we have to live with a bad thing to be truly free. Sucks, but it makes sense.

Answer 3

B. and D. if you can have two answers, though I'd mostly say D. because they didn't want Fedral power to collect taxes because well...America was founded on refusal of paying taxes you could say. (And be horrible inaccurate minus a few details that does have accuracy.)
