Answer:
D. Limiting the power of the national government
Explanation:
The Article of Confederation was the document that listed the laws to govern the United states. The document included the set of rules that primarily gave the highest position to Congress. Congress was given the highest position because of the fear of the return to monarchy rule. The congress was given the power to pass the laws but were refrained from the power to enforce them. The framers of the Article of Confederation intended towards limiting the power and total control in the hands of one national government.
