The statement "Created a strong central government" is NOT true about the Articles of Confederation.
The correct answer is "Created a strong central government." To determine which statement is NOT true about the Articles of Confederation, we need to review each option and eliminate the ones that are accurate.
The first statement says that the Articles of Confederation created a strong central government. This is true, as the Articles established a weak central government with limited powers.
The second statement mentions that unanimous consent from all states was required for amendments. This is also true, as any amendment to the Articles of Confederation required the unanimous approval of all 13 states.
The third statement claims that the Articles regulated the sale of government-owned land to settlers. This is also true, as the government had control over lands in the western territories and organized their sale and settlement.
Finally, the fourth statement suggests that the Articles of Confederation created a national government consisting solely of a single house of Congress, with each state having one vote. This statement is true, as the Articles established a unicameral legislature known as the Continental Congress, where each state had equal representation.
Since the only statement that is NOT true is the first one, that is the correct answer. The Articles of Confederation did not create a strong central government.
