The constitution was drafted in 1787, after the american revolution ended. what document preceded the constitution in outlining the powers of the us government?

a.the declaration of independence
b.the articles of confederation
c.the bill of rights
d.the two treatises of government

The answer is:

B) The Articles of Confederation.

Hope it helps!

B. The Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation was created in 1777 and ratified in 1781, before the actual Constitution. In fact, the 1787 Constitution was made after it has been proved that the Articles of Confederation were inefficient to lead the nation as it lacked the establishment of a central government that was strong enough to address important issues of the country, such as the collection of taxes, to name only one.

The other options are incorrect because A. the Declaration of Independence was created in 1776, B. the Bill of Rights was created in 1789, and D. the Two Treatises of Government was published in 1689.

I feel like I've heard these words before.. I'm not sure?
