Question

Based on the Chart below, which of the following statement can you infer is correct?

b. The Articles of Confederation is completely different from the U.S. Constitution

c. The U.S. Constitution is a much smaller document than the Articles of Confederation

a. The U.S. Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation

d. The Articles of Confederation replaced the U.S. Constitution

Answer 1

A. The U.S. Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can eliminate "B" as an answer because the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution have a couple of similarities based on the chart. We can also eliminate "C" because we can't verify the statement by the chart below (additionally, it's more likely for the U.S. Constitution to be a larger document because it contains more topics). We can also eliminate "D" because the statement is illogical: why would a document with a wider range of topics be replaced with a document with a narrower range of topics? Of course, simplification is sometimes necessary with documents; however, many of the topics in the U.S. Constitution are part of U.S. society, so they must be still utilized. This leaves us with choice "A".
