Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Articles of Confederation were ratified by all 13 states on March 1, 1781, making it the official governing document of the United States. Option A is too early, as it predates even the Declaration of Independence, which was signed in 1776. Option B is closer to the correct date but is still too early, as the Articles were adopted by the Continental Congress in November of that year and required state ratification before taking effect. Option D is too late, as it is the year the Bill of Rights was ratified.
