Answer:

The colonists didn't want a weak central government. They sought a central government with limits on its powers They didn't want a government that would act as a dictator, as the King of England did. Many colonists believed that if they had stronger state governments, more power would be vested in them. This led to the creation of the Articles of Confederation. the articles of confederation had many problems, so eventually the constitution was written. The colonists finally settled on a constitution that left all powers not granted to the central government, to the States.

Answer:

having experienced how oppressive a centralized government dealt with them previously, they were not interested in putting up with it again and state constitutions emphasized liberty, rather than equality. It was hard to develop a system of government that balanced the interests of several states with those of the nation.Explanation:

The Final End of Athenian Democracy. A year after their defeat of Athens in 404 BC, the Spartans allowed the Athenians to replace the government of the Thirty Tyrants with a new democracy. Only a decade later Sparta had been reduced to a shadow of its former self. But Thebes' dominance of Greece would be short-lived.
