Answer 1

9 of 13 states needed to agree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Passing a law under the Articles of Confederation was extremely difficult. To do so required 9 of 13 states needed to agree., meaning that very few laws ever got passed.

Answer 2

B) To pass a law, 9 of 13 states needed to agree.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Article of Confederation which served as the first constitution of the United States of America had several weaknesses which created problems on various occasions. The congress was weak and the state were having more power. The states sometimes act independently concerning their interest and not a nation as a whole. It made law-making procedure very difficult as votes of 9 of 13 states were needed to pass a law.
