How many states were needed to enact a law under the Articles?
A
5 out of 13
B
10 out of 13
C
9 out of 13
D
2 out of 13
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The point of nine was to get thirteen. Article VII may declare that the Constitution of the United States was the law of the land when ratified by nine states, but both the Framers and text clearly anticipated a union of all thirteen states.

Detailed explanation-2: -After New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify, on June 22, 1788, the Confederation Congress established March 9, 1789 as the date to begin operating under the Constitution. By this time, all the States except North Carolina and Rhode Island had ratified-the Ocean State was the last to ratify on May 29, 1790.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Articles required unanimous consent to any amendment, so all 13 states would need to agree on a change. Given the rivalries between the states, that rule made the Articles impossible to adapt after the war ended with Britain in 1783.

Detailed explanation-4: -13. (1) All laws in force in the territory of India immediately before the commencement of this Constitution, in so far as they are inconsistent with the provisions of this Part, shall, to the extent of such inconsistency, be void.
