Praxis II Government and Political Science

Answer: A - Under the Articles of Confederation, the bulk of the power rests with the state legislatures. The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, customarily referred to as the Articles of Confederation, was the first constitution of the United States of America and legally established the union of the states. Under the Articles, states retained sovereignty over all governmental functions not specifically relinquished to the central government. This meant that the bulk of governmental power remained within individual state legislatures, not the federal legislature.
