Oh, dude, that would be Benjamin Franklin. Yeah, like, back in 1754, he was all like, "Hey, let's try to get the colonies to work together," and he came up with this whole plan at the Albany Congress. It was a pretty big deal at the time, but, like, not everyone was super into it.

Because the local colonial governments would have to give up their power.
Albany Plan of Union was suggested by the Benjamin Franklin with the objective to create a single government for the colonies. Representatives from several colonies came up together to plan their defense with respect to French and Indian war. The plan was one of the early attempt to form the union of colonies for defense and other important purposes.
The Grand Council would limit colonies to certain powers.
Before this proposal. the only existing government was individual forms of government that each colonial had established such as; the Mayflower Compact and House of Burgess. The Albany Plan would allow all colonials to function as one and it would dictate the taxes, colonial defense, and certain laws. The main significance is that this proposal was the first move toward unified government.
It would set up colonies for each of the countries that wanted land. The Albany Plan of Union was a document that was made to set up colonies in North America. The Albany Plan of Union was not passed. :(

Because the local colonial governments would have to give up their power.
Many objections and difficulties were debated, addressed, and resolved whereupon the plan was unanimously adopted by the delegates of the Albany Congress. The plan was disaprooved because the colonials did not want to give up any of their power.

because it was the fist plan brought up during the time that tried to unify all of the colonies under one centralized government unit
the delegates in Albany knew that the colonists had to work together to defeat the french. Benjamin Franklin, the delegate from Pennsylvania, proposed the Albany plan of union. the plan was an attempt to create "one general government" for the 13 colonies. it called for a grand council made up of Representatives from each colony.
The Grand Council would limit colonies to certain powers.
The colonial legislatures disapproved of the plan because the colonies did not want to give up any of their power.The colonists did not unite against the French.Soon a destructing war begun.This war was called the French and Indian War.I hope that answered your question.
In 1754 representatives of 7 colonies met in Albany NY to discuss a plan to unify the colonist in the face of war with the French. The outcome was the Albany Plan of Union written by Ben Franklin. It provided for a federal union of the mainland colonies under the British crown. Each colony would elect representatives to a Grand Council. This "general government" would have the power to make peace or war as well as financial and command responsibility for defense, Indian relation's and regulation of frontier settlement. They would also make laws and levy taxes. The plan was passed by the congress, but never went any further because most of the individual colonies want to keep their decentralized governments.
