a new document that created the first us government

"A new document that created the first US government" best describes the Articles of Confederation.

Option D

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation is defined as the first constitution established in the U.S.A. It was originally formed for the thirteen colonies of the U.S.A with an aim of preserving the sovereignty and independent nature of the thirteen colonies.

However, the Articles of Confederation led the central government to be weak as it gave a lot of autonomy and authority to the colonies on an individual basis. It is nothing but a new document form initiated to create US government firstly.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
