(It’s not confederation)

Before the Constitutional Convention, the US government was a confederation, not a federal government.

Explanation:

Before the Constitutional Convention, the United States government was organized into the Confederation Congress or, formally, the United States meeting in Congress, which was the governing body of the United States from March 1, 1781 to March 4, 1789. It was formed by delegates who had been appointed by state legislatures. It was the successor of the Second Continental Congress.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
