Which of the following documents provided an outline for a state-centered government?

  1. Articles of Confederation

  2. The Treaty of Paris

  3. The Mayflower Compact

  4. Declaration of Independence

The correct answer is: Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation established a government that gave most of the power to the individual states, rather than a centralized government. The Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War and recognized the United States as a sovereign nation. The Mayflower Compact was a document that established self-government for the Pilgrims in the New World. The Declaration of Independence declared the United States' independence from Britain, but did not outline a form of government. Therefore, the Articles of Confederation is the only document provided that specifically outlines a state-centered government.
