To determine which statement is NOT true about the Articles of Confederation, let's examine each option and eliminate the ones that are true.
1. Created a strong central government: This statement is false. The Articles of Confederation, which were in effect from 1781 to 1789, intentionally created a weak central government. This was a deliberate departure from the previous strong central authority under British rule.
2. Required unanimous consent from all states for amendments: This statement is true. The Articles of Confederation did indeed require unanimous consent from all 13 states to amend the articles.
3. Regulated the sale of government-owned land to settlers: This statement is true. The Articles of Confederation gave Congress limited authority over the regulation and sale of government-owned land.
4. Created a national government consisting solely of a single house of Congress in which each state would have one vote: This statement is true. The Articles of Confederation established a national government with a unicameral legislature consisting of a single house of Congress, where each state had one vote.
Based on this analysis, the statement that is NOT true about the Articles of Confederation is: "Created a strong central government."
