The Articles of Confederation (AOC) did not establish a national court system primarily due to the emphasis on state sovereignty and the fear of centralized power. The framers were wary of creating a strong federal government that could infringe on individual rights and state authority. As a result, the AOC allowed each state to maintain its own legal system, leading to inconsistencies and conflicts in the interpretation and enforcement of laws across the states. This lack of a national judiciary ultimately proved to be one of the weaknesses of the AOC, contributing to its eventual replacement by the U.S. Constitution.
