c)lack of debate over the ratification of the united states constitution
d)development of a federal court system

The correct answer is B. In the 1780’s, many Americans distrusted a strong central government. This distrust is best shown by the  plan of government set up by the Articles of Confederation.

Explanation:

The Articles of the Confederation were the first text that determined the political and administrative organization of the United States as an independent nation.

As the settlers came from having a bad experience with unipersonal governments, which they accused of becoming tyrannies, a Congress was established in which the states made joint decisions.

In addition, as each state wanted to maintain a high degree of independence, this Congress was banned from carrying out monetary policies or collecting taxes.

In short, it was a collective body that only served to make decisions in times of war, but did not have the economic capacity to govern a country, since those powers were reserved to the states.
