The correct answer is A) a Congress.
The Articles of Confederation established a Congress.
The Articles of Confederation was the first Constitution of the United States. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on November 5, 1777, but it was ratified by the states until March 1781. The articles created a weak central government represented by a Congress. The states had the power to collect taxes, so when Congress needed money, it had to ask the states for it.
