Explanation:
The main concern with John Dickerson's first draft of the articles of confederation is that it made the federal/central government weak and incapable of enforcing significant laws; this was possible because the first draft put too much authority and power in the hands of state governments.
Our Founding Fathers did not invent the American system of government out of thin air. They, like the other colonists, were influenced by many different ideas and traditions. The biggest influence came from their British heritage. (Remember the colonists WERE British until the American Revolution :)
