The Articles of Confederation were designed with a very weak federal government. The states had almost all the power. The national government could not even collect tax! The government was purposely made weak in order to protect the citizens from a tyrannical ruler coming to power (like King George III). However, the Articles miserably failed, and was replaced by the Constitution.
