Read the excerpt from the Articles of Confederation.The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defence, the security of their Liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretence whatever.–Article III of the Articles of Confederation
Answer
A
to ensure that all the states would defend an individual state
B
to convince the states that Britain posed a serious threat
C
to ensure that no state would attack another state
D
to convince the states to declare independence from Britain
Explanation
Article III describes the states joining in a league of friendship and binding themselves to assist one another against attacks. This means the agreement was intended to ensure that the states would defend an individual state if it came under attack. It does not focus on persuading the states to declare independence or on preventing states from attacking one another.
