C
Explanation
The question presents a list of powers and hence is asking about the document those powers reference. In this question, the correct option is the document which embodied certain powers like making treaties, declaring war, borrowing money, and establishing a post office, but lacked powers like drafting soldiers, having a national currency, taxing, and regulating interstate commerce. The Federalist Papers were series of essays advocating for the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence was the statement announcing the 13 American colonies' freedom from British rule. The Constitution gave wide powers, including a national currency and power to draft soldiers, which were elements mentioned not present in the list. That leaves us with the Articles of Confederation, which indeed embodied the characteristics listed - these articles established the first legal system of the United States, which lacked several central governmental powers hence this should be the correct answer.
