The correct answer is A. The weaknesses listed (a weak central government, which was unable to collect taxes nor to raise an army) motivated early US leaders to establish a stronger central government, whose power was checked by the Bill of Rights.

Explanation:

The establishment of a strong central government occurred through the sanction of the Constitution of the United States in 1787. Previously, the fundamental law of the United States was the Articles of the Confederation.

The Articles formed a weak confederation that united the Thirteen Colonies, with the capacity to govern themselves almost only in times of war and emergencies. After the end of the War of Independence and the beginning of new priorities, its limitations became evident. This document was replaced by the Constitution of the United States after its ratification on June 21, 1788.
