The fear of a central government was based on the previous government of America, which was an oppressive monarchy. Americans were afraid that a strong central government would be just like being ruled by a king all over again.
They feared that the states would not hold together and break off into other countries. States under a weak central government could make their own money and have laws contrary to the central government.
The constitution reflected the fear of too strong a central government by dividing power among three branches. Power is divided among the Executive Branch, the Judiciary, and the Legislative Branch.
The founding fathers did not fear strong central government, if anything they supported it. The British rule was very strong in government and America did not want too much power to come to one or a group of people. So the Articles of Confederation were set up as a weak form of central government to avoid becoming like the British rule.
