Why did the founding fathers create a weak central government under the articles of Confederation?

This was because of widespread fear of a strong central government at the time they were written and strong loyalties among Americans to their own state as opposed to any national government during the American Revolution, the Articles of Confederation purposely kept the national government as weak as possible and the states as independent as possible. However, this led to many of the problems that became apparent once the Articles took effect.

after the senate and the house passed different bills and deadlock threatened, a compromise bill was worked out with the following provisions: (1) missouri was admitted as a slave state and maine (formerly part of massachusetts).

because the earth is a round globe. but that is just what they tell us it is flat and those dudes actually where lying they sailed east.
