C. establish justice and provide for the common defense
Explanation:
Unlike the U.S. Constitution, the Articles of Confederation did not provide for the creation of a judicial branch with national courts to establish “justice” (the government consisted of a Congress only) and neither did it grant the government the power to draft soldiers from states and collect taxes in order to contribute to the nation's common defense. These issues were addressed in the U.S. Constitution, as well as in its preamble when it sets to “establish justice and provide for the common defense” as one of its goals.
