The statement that is NOT true about the Articles of Confederation is:
Created a strong central government.
To determine which statement is NOT true about the Articles of Confederation, let's evaluate each option:
1. Created a strong central government: This statement is true. The Articles of Confederation did not establish a strong central government. Instead, it created a weak central government with limited powers.
2. Required unanimous consent from all states for amendments: This statement is also true. Under the Articles of Confederation, any amendment to the articles required the unanimous consent of all thirteen states.
3. Regulated the sale of government-owned land to settlers: This statement is true. The Articles of Confederation did provide for the regulation of the sale of government-owned land to settlers.
4. Created a national government consisting solely of a single house of Congress in which each state would have one vote: This statement is NOT true about the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation did create a system of government with a single house of Congress, known as the Confederation Congress. However, each state did not have an equal vote. Instead, each state was allowed to send between two and seven delegates to Congress, but regardless of the number of delegates, each state only had one vote.
Therefore, the answer is that the statement "Created a strong central government" is NOT true about the Articles of Confederation.
