Edith · Answer 2

Answer: A weak central government with most power at the state and local levels.

Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal authority was weak. This allowed the troops of localism to have great influence. The asymmetry of power favored the states, following the idea that a government by the people required a small polity. It was presumed that the small republic could provide the homogeneity needed for local self-government.
