Question

One major weakness in the ratification of the Articles of Confederation was:

Answer 1

(a) all 13 states needed ratification before the Articles would go into effect
c.
only 1/4 of the states needed ratification before the Articles would go into effect
b.
only a majority of states needed ratification before the Articles would go into effect
d.
only 1/2 the states needed ratification before the Articles would go into effect

Answer 2

Frankly, a 9/13 vote made it very, very hard to actually get anything done. If at least nine states said "sure, let's do it", they could do something...but no one actually trusted anyone enough to agree on anything.
