The U.S. aimed to create a weak central government primarily to prevent tyranny and protect individual liberties, drawing lessons from their experience under British rule. The Founding Fathers feared concentrated power could lead to oppression, so they designed the Articles of Confederation to favor state sovereignty and limit federal authority. This approach was seen as a way to ensure that governance remained close to the people, allowing states to retain control over their own affairs. However, the weaknesses of this system ultimately led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, which established a stronger federal government while still incorporating checks and balances.
