b) only one governing body
The Articles of Confederation, which were adopted during the American Revolutionary War in 1777 and ratified in 1781, created a single governing body known as the Congress of the Confederation. This represented the national level of government but did not establish the three separate branches—executive, legislative, and judiciary—that are familiar in the United States government today. Under the Articles of Confederation, there was no separate executive branch to enforce laws, and there was no national court system or federal judiciary. The Congress, which was a unicameral legislature, held all federal powers that were not retained by the states.
