Answer:

According to the particular situation of Neil Thisse, the Articles of the Constitution could not have helped him to recover property rights of his land.

Explanation:

Although Mr. Thisse was a Loyaist, the new rules of the Continental Congress and the state delgates were still struggling to consolidate the new government. In accordance to the Articles and the Treaty of Paris, Mr. Thisse did not have option to negotiate with the local government of MA an agreement to reclaim his manor.
