Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The answer is A because it states that nine of the colonies had churches established by law at some point, but only two remained by 1790. It also mentions that the candidates in the presidential elections were not Christian "by modern definitions", which suggests that some may have been influenced by non-Christian beliefs or lacked a strong religious affiliation. Therefore, choice A is the best option. Choices B, C, and D are all incorrect because they are not mentioned in the sentence and do not fit the context.
