How did the Constitution improve on the Articles of Confederation regarding the executive branch? A. Assigned power to make laws to the executive branch
B. Created an executive branch where before there was none
C. Established that the president is elected through popular vote
D. Granted less power to the executive branch than before
The correct answer is:
B. Created an executive branch where before there was none
Explanation: The Articles of Confederation did not establish an executive branch to enforce laws, relying instead on the states for enforcement. The Constitution created a separate executive branch headed by a president, providing a stronger national government and a more effective means of enforcing laws and policies. This structure allowed for better governance and administration compared to the loose confederation under the Articles.
