b. state legislatures

c. the people

d. the president

The correct answer is B) state legislatures.

Under the articles of confederation, state legislatures chose the federal government’s congress of delegates.

The Articles of the Confederation reflected a strong belief in the supremacy of the state government.

The first written Constitution of the United were the documents known as the Articles of the Confederation. They were signed on March 1, 1781. One important factor stated in the Articles of the Confederation was that the "states remained independent and sovereign." In those articles, the US Congress was granted the power to sign treaties, coin money and lead the Army. But in the Articles were issues left that required other convention to address those forgotten issues. That was the Convention of 1787, where issues such as the capacity of the central government to collect taxes and regulate trade, were annexed.
