Which document was adopted by the newly independent United States to organize the national government after declaring independence?

  1. US Constitution

  2. Bill of Rights

  3. Articles of Confederation

  4. Federalist Papers

The correct answer is: Articles of Confederation

The US Constitution and Bill of Rights were adopted after the United States had already been established as a nation. The Federalist Papers were a series of essays written to promote the ratification of the Constitution, but they were not a document adopted by the government. The Articles of Confederation, on the other hand, were adopted by the newly independent United States in 1781 to establish a framework for a national government. However, they were soon replaced by the Constitution in 1789 due to their weaknesses and lack of centralized power. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Articles of Confederation.
