The Articles of Confederation... and that's all I Know
The people wanted the state governments to be stronger than the national governments because they had just escaped the rule of the British where there was a strong central government. But a weak national government didn't work out so, our founding fathers wrote the Constitution which we now live under today. I'm going to go further with this definition and tell you that Our founding fathers wanted a flexible Constitution that could easily change with the growing country.
The delegates settled on a federal form of government instead of a system in which power was not divided between state and national government because they believed that it provided for a much stronger national government with a chief executive (the president), courts, and taxing powers.
Federal government is the name for this system of government. Under this system, states get to retain their individual rights and maintain their own governments, but some duties, like currency and defense, are delegated to the federal government, which is elected by all the states working together.The Articles of Confederation was the first document establishing a federal government, in 1781, but the federal government created by that document was far too weak. In 1789, a new, stronger federal government was created by the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
