D. strong states and a weak central government

Answer 1

Answer: D. Strong states and a weak central government.

Step-by-step explanation:

D. Strong states and a weak central government. The Constitution was designed to create a strong federal government that would have the power to enforce laws, but still maintain the sovereignty of the states. This was done by giving the states certain rights and powers that the federal government could not interfere with. The Constitution also set up a system of checks and balances between the branches of the federal government, so that no branch could become too powerful.
