Answer:
Option B, individual states could ignore the United States government, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Articles of Confederation was a document that served as the first governing Constitution of the United States. A weak national government was formed under the Articles of Confederation. Following this document a confederacy was created, in which the states of the United States viewed themselves independent entities associated with each other for limited goals, for instance, national defense. Since these State governments had the sovereignty to govern their own states they could ignore the United States government.
