Answer 1

Colonists feel the Articles of Confederation were necessary even though the Declaration of Independence was already written because the Declaration of Independence outlined a relationship between individuals and the government but did not detail the power and control of that government.

Option: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Declaration of Independence highlighted the relationship between individuals and the government means the position or the rights of the citizen in nation and the process of election and selection of government but did not provide the detail of the power and control of the government.
