The correct answers are
1) Equal voting rights were assigned to each state- Under the Articles of Confederation each state, regardless of population, had one vote in the legislative branch.
2) Approval of a supermajority of 9 of the 13 states was required to pass any laws. This was implemented to make passing laws difficult, as Americans at this time did not want a strong central government based on their experience as colonists under the control of Great Britain.
