They set up a "confederation." That is a sort of treaty arrangement between the 13 constituent republics. Most government was the local responsibility of each of the 13, with only a few powers ceded to the united government. The first confederation was replaced by a "federal" republic with a stronger but still limited center, outlined in the Constitution of 1787. The idea here was to balance power between the States and the center, so that public opinion could weigh in on the balance and prevent either from getting out of hand. Our government of today is far different than the one outlined in that Constitution. The civil war established the power of the central government to hold the Union together by force, while the 17th Amendment removed State government representation in the Senate. The "New Deal" completed the process. Now, every detail of American life can be and is regulated from Washington. James Madison called this sort of government a "consolidated" republic which he though inferior for lack of the balance mentioned earlier.
The Roman Empire developed a strong centralised state when Augustus, the first emperor, established his own personal ruler and started the period of absolute rule by emperors. The emperors had control over the state and politics, which ensured centralised power.
In general terms, monarchs in early England, France, and the Holy Roman Empire consolidated their power in at least the following ways: First, they solidified the support of noble families small and large, whether through intimidation, placation, or some combination. Second, they levied taxes or otherwise ensured sufficient revenue to support the monarchy in peace and in war. Third, they established (or, more firmly established) connections with Church authorities. Finally, they constructed fortifications, established garrisons, and otherwise exerted a military presence in their territory.
