c. allowing slaves to vote in southern states.
d. adopting a form of constitutional monarchy.

A. Leaving more power with the states APEX

The correct option is A

In September 1786, commissioners from five states met at the Annapolis Convention to discuss reforms to the Articles of Confederation that would improve trade.

They invited representatives from other states to meet in Philadelphia to discuss improvements to the federal government. As a result of the debate, the Congress of the Confederation set out to review the Articles of Confederation on February 21, 1787. Twelve of the thirteen states, with Rhode Island being the only exception, accepted the invitation and sent delegates to the convention in May. 1787. The resolution convened by the Convention specified its purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation, but the Convention decided to propose the writing of a new Constitution.

The Philadelphia Convention voted to keep the deliberations a secret and decided to draft a new fundamental design of government that eventually established that nine of the thirteen states would have to ratify the constitution so that it would enter into force for the participating states.

trade-off is not the correct answer since it is a situation in which you accept losing something in return for benefits in other areas.

and finally, consequence is a general term used to accept what it comes when you make a decision. it can be a positive or negative consequence depending if the decision you took was the correct one.
