Which statement best explains how the Constitution addressed a weakness in the Articles of Confederation?

A) Some states were punishing citizens for publishing texts critical of the government, so the Constitution protected the right to freedom of speech.
B) Congress couldn’t pass laws because state representatives did not always attend congressional sessions, so the Constitution made it a crime for legislators to skip sessions of Congress.
C) Congress had no way to enforce or interpret the laws it passed, so the Constitution created the executive and judicial branches of the federal government.
D) Some states wanted to create alliances with Great Britain against other states, so the Constitution made it illegal for states to make alliances with foreign countries.
