Question

Under the Articles of Confederation, the principle of "republicanism" helps explain why

one political party maintained most of the power throughout the years the document was in use

elected officials in the national legislature have more power and responsibility than the executive

state governments are inferior to the national government in the areas of currency and education

representatives from each state government collectively had one vote in national decision-making

Answer 1

The correct answer is elected officials in the national legislature have more power and responsibility than the executive


This is why it was important for all of the US states to unite under a singular centralized government on a federal level. This way, officially elected officials could participate in making laws for the entire federation, which is why the larger the federation the stronger the republicanism was.
