Power during the years of the articles of confederation rested mostly with the:

states

People created a WEAK central government back then so that the states could have the majority of the power because they didn't want another ruler ruling over them. The articles of Confederation were made to be a loose aliance between the states, most people felt loyal to their states, and not the country as a whole. The Articles of Confederation did not work out, the Shay's Rebellion made the congress realise that. So, they created the constitutional Convention to amend the constitution, but the delagates ended up creating a whole new Constitution instead, which is the U.S Constitution. 

Hope this helped

The states or 13 colonies however Congress had the power to declare war, appoint military officers, sign treaties, make alliances, and manage relations with Indians.

c. Interaction with other cultures led to the Ethiopian language blending with Hebrew.

Explanation:

For at least 2000 years there has not been a Jewish cultural unit. The Jews have been geographically dispersed. At the end of the 19th century the Ashkenazi were mainly in Europe, especially Eastern Europe; Sephardim in various communities in North Africa, Turkey, and several smaller nuclei in a wide range of other places; and the mizrajíes were mainly extended by all the Arab world, and other populations in places like Ethiopia, the Caucasus, and India. When the Jews begin to interact with the Ethiopians, we see that their cultures are mixed and the same thing happens with the language.
