Why did the authors of the articles of conferderation provide for a weak government?
The Articles of Confederation were the first attempt to provide a central government for the United States, but it proved to be too weak. The authors of the Articles, like many Americans, were afraid of creating too strong a central government. Having just defeated England in the Revolutionary War and having won their independence from England's strong government, Americans wanted to be sure that the government they established would not be so strong as to take away their liberties and to interfere in their local affairs. The Articles provided a weak central government in which the real power remained in the hands of the states.
