The founding fathers strengthened the central union of the states by creating the Constitution. While the founding fathers feared the thought of a centralized government system they were on a quest to limit the powers within each state.

The founding fathers feared an all-powerful national government (as England had been). So in creating the Constitution they felt a need to balance power between three branched of government, each with specific, exclusive duties and powers.
They feared a strong executive that could operate as an authoritarian government
A major concern for the Founding Fathers of the United States was the balance of power between the federal government and the states. They feared that a strong central government could lead to tyranny, similar to the British monarchy they had fought against. To address this, they created a system of checks and balances within the Constitution, ensuring that no single branch of government could dominate the others. Additionally, they were concerned about protecting individual liberties, which led to the inclusion of the Bill of Rights.
To act as a check on the power of the different branches of government, so that one of them can't become too powerful. The founding fathers feared a monarchy like the one they had just worked so hard to gain independence from.
The Founding Fathers had no plan in place other than who would succeed the President if something happened. For the fathers to undermine the voters choice for President would've been a direct violation of the laws they had written to protect voter rights.
Obviously not since they created a representative democracy. What they rejected, because they feared mob rule, was direct democracy with the people as a whole exercising the functions of government. Michael Montagne
They feared the government would take away their individual rights and eventually lead to tyranny. They feared it would be like Britain all over again. :)
There was no executive under the Articles of Confederation because the Founding Fathers feared the return of tyranny. The Founding Fathers were very cautious not to create a new "king"- that was exactly why they had separated from England. so as a result, there was no executive to carry out the laws passed by Congress. This lack of a leader caused much confusion.
They had just fought a war to break away from Great Britain. They fought to break away from a strong central government. They did not want to have a strong federal government because they feared that a strong central government would have too much power. If that were to happen our own government could turn into another Great Britain. Look at our government right now, this is what our Founding Fathers wished would never happen to us.
