Answer:
C. Laws to be enforced
Explanation:
Under the Articles of Confederation, the first U.S. Constitution, the states were given independence and sovereignty at the expense of a weak central government consisting of a Legislative Branch only, responsible for creating, evaluating and enforcing laws, therefore there was no an Executive branch that could enforce laws.
After the creation of the Constitution, still existing nowadays, the power and responsibilities of the government were divided among three branches: the Legislative, the Judicial and the Executive, and this new U.S. government allowed the Executive branch to be the only branch with the power to enforce laws.
