Why do you think Maryland was the last state with out a land claim to approve the article?

Maryland was the last state without a land claim to approve the Articles of Confederation primarily due to its concerns over western land claims held by other states. The state feared that if it ratified the Articles without a resolution on land disputes, it would lose its influence and rights over its territory. Additionally, Maryland wanted assurances that these western lands would be managed fairly and not monopolized by states with larger claims. This standoff reflected broader tensions among the states regarding land distribution and governance.
