It granted a number of powers to the federal government.
D
It gave states powers that conflicted with national interests.

The Articles of Confederation created a national government, but gave it very limited powers. The Constitution strengthened the federal government by granting it powers such as regulating interstate commerce and collecting taxes. It did not remove all state authority, so C is the best answer.
