Answer:

feared that a strong central government would revive a dictatorial government

To avoid tax and tariffs from a central government

to protect the native rights of the people

Explanation:

After the American War of Independence, the leaders and founding members of the constitution created a weak central government in the Articles of Confederation due to the following reasons:

1. The leaders feared that a strong central government would revive a dictatorial government because of the experiences they had with the British Crown.

2. To avoid tax and tariffs from a central government that has nothing or very less to do with their economic lives. They firmly stood against 'taxation without representation' and believed that the central government cannot levy any taxes but only the state governments could.

3. They leaders wanted to protect the native rights of the people endowed by their own respective state governments. They feared that if too much of powers were given to the central government, it would take away some of their rights.
