Answer: ●It reveals a weakness of the document because it highlights the federal government's dependence on the states.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no passage included however the above is the most logical answer.

The Articles of Confederation was the USA's first Constitution and it needed to be replaced because it made the Central/ Federal government so weak that they were ineffective.

The Articles ensured that the Federal Government would be overly reliant on the States which was disadvantageous because the states did not always comply with directives.

For instance, only the states could tax people and give what they wanted to the Federal Government and the Federal Government could not even draft soldiers even though they could declare war.
