A. ceded them
B. ratified them
C. legalized them
D. inspected them

Answer 1

Ratified them.

The Articles of Confederation established a weak central government, but at the same time didn't give the people enough power. All major country-wide documents are ratified by the states, and this is also the case for the Articles of Confederation.
