Answer 1

The answer would be b. The 13 states were wary of a British-style government. They didn't want to be reproducing the British way of rule so they went to the opposite direction and became a weak government.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: B. The 13 states were wary of a British-style government.

In the british style government, they give an absolute power to one single ruler in the form of monarchy. In this style, all states have to show total obedience to the order that made by the monarch. 
Because the 13 states wary of this style, the articles of confederation is designed in a way that make the power of central government become very limited.
