Answer:

C. Under the Constitution, the federal government had the power to enforce laws but was checked by Congress and the court system

Step-by-step explanation:

The weaknesses or problem with the Articles of Confederation is that Congress has very little power and no support from state governments to maintain their power. Congress requires the voluntary agreement of the states for several activities such as trade regulation, funds raising, or conduct foreign policy.

To fix this problem in the Articles of Confederation, the US Constitution needs to give some powers to the federal government such as to enforce laws but only after the agreement of Congress and the court system. This action will maintain an equal division of powers between congress and states.

Hence, the correct answer is "C".
