The correct answer is B, Representation by states in government based on population.

Explanation:

It is clearly stated in the Articles of Confederation that each state shall have one vote in Congress, i. e., the idea of representation based on each state's population did not make the final version.

This would change only with the Constitution (1787) where a bicameral legislature was established. There would be proportional representation in the House of Representatives and equal representation (2 votes per state) in the Senate.
