What was the main concern with the first draft of the Articles of Confederation?A. Too much power in the central government
B. Too much power in the state governments
C. Too little power for the courts
D. A too small legislature

Answers

The correct answer is B) too much power in the state governments.

The Articles of Confederation was America's first attempt at a Constitution. Considering their negative experience with King George III and a large central government, the writers of the Articles of Confederation made it so that the US gave almost all the power to state governments.

This idea ended up working out terribly. The federal government could not collect taxes, could not establish a national currency (aka money), and struggled to build a militia. This was all because state governments had the ability to ignore the wishes of the federal government. The Articles of Confederation were replaced with our current US Constitution after about a decade.

There were few issues related to first draft of Articles of Confederation such as it gave too much power in the central government and too little power for the courts.

Further Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the agreement within the 13 States of USA which were part of the first constitution. Once all 13 states gave their approval in regards to The Articles of Confederation, it was implemented and it came into force 1781. The farmers of the constitution thought that it was important to have a national judiciary. This article clearly showed that there was distrust among the people of United States of America in regards to a strong central government within the country which takes all the actions and makes all the laws for the welfare of the country and it was the start of ‘American Revolution” another issue which these Articles had was the lack of judiciary became problem as there were issues between states and they always stood against each other in courts as if one verdict came in a case against one state then that state would not accept that verdict. This problem was seen by the people who made the constitution and wanted to make all states to work with each other, Articles of Confederation needed to be changed or scrapped completely which was lastly done. Articles of Confederation lasted for period of 8 years and were replaced by the current constitution of United States in year 1789.
