Question

Why did the Articles of Confederation create such a weak national government? a. People were afraid of giving too much power to a central government (like a monarchy) b. People did not want any government at all c. People wanted to rule themselves and live free of society d. People wanted each state to be its own independent nation

Answer 1

a. People were afraid of giving too much power to a central government (like a monarchy)

Step-by-step explanation:

The article of confederation was written with the intention of culminating the powers from the hands of the central government. It divided the powers among the states so that the establishment of the monarchy sort of government would be neglected. The National government was provided with the least of the powers and was left weak as compared to the state government.
