Answer 2

Answer:

D. The Constitution created a federal government with three branches.

Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government consisted of a Congress with very limited powers, that proved to be inefficient to lead the newborn nation. As a result, many Americans deemed necessary a new Constitution that addressed the problems of the Articles of Confederation, and one of the problems that it directly addressed was the form of government. Following the model of separation of powers proposed by the French philosopher Baron de Montesquieu, the new U.S. Constitution created a federal government with three branches: The legislative, the judicial and the executive, along with a system of checks and balances.
