Why are the Articles of Confederation historically important? A. They upheld the sovereignty, freedom, and independence of the central government. B. They gave people the right to select the members of the Confederation Congress. C. They gave more powers to the state government than to the central government. D. They were a flawless official document. E. They were the first written federal constitution of the United States.

E. They were the first written federal constitution of the United States.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the first written constitution for the United States.

They turned out to be ineffective because it made the state governments too strong and the federal government too weak.

However, it was historically important because it was the first official federal US Constitution.

So, E is the correct answer.

where is the section with the question?

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
