How did the structure of the Articles of Confederation support states' rights?

States made all the decisions for the country and were not bound to the national government
States had power over their own governments with little or no input from the national government.
The national government respected state governments, but the rule of the national government was supreme.
The national government determined how the country acted in all matters with no input from the states.

It's between A and B. The articles of confederation made the federal government weak and pretty much non-existent in terms of true power. Effectively each state was its own country more or less.

I think A and B sound pretty identical though perhaps choice A isn't the best answer because each state didn't really think about the country as a whole, but rather focused on their own backyard.

So that's why I'm thinking the final answer is choice B

Though I would get a second opinion on the matter.
