What would best describe a major downfall of the Articles of Confederation?
A. There was a president, head of the executive branch.
B. There was a judicial branch, with a chief justice.
C. There was no standing army to protect the country.
D. There was no system for voting.

I would say C

Explanation: they were weak they had no power and they had no power to impose taxes so that means they had a weak army

the respondent is the party against whom a petition is filed

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
