Answer:
B. Creating a weak central government
Explanation:
Fearing that a strong government would abuse from its powers as the British Crown had done, the writers the Articles of Confederation, the first US written Constitution, sought to give “sovereignty, freedom and independence” to the states which allowed them to have great powers like taxing and regulating commerce, while establishing a new government with few and very limited powers. The excerpt from Article II, then, reflects the founding principle of the Constitution of a weak central government.
