Answer:

The Articles of Confederation did not create a strong national government like we have today. Instead, the Articles of Confederation created a weak national government with limited powers because many ( Feelings of people bc of it : Americans feared ) a strong government would lead to the tyranny they felt under the British government.

-The Townshend Acts were specifically to pay for the salaries of officials such as governors and judges. The British thought that the colonists would be okay with taxes on imports. They had repealed an earlier tax called the Stamp Act because of colonial protests, but thought that taxes on imports would be okay.

-As a result of the Intolerable Acts, even more colonists turned against British rule. Great Britain hoped that the Intolerable Acts would isolate radicals in Massachusetts and cause American colonists to concede the authority of Parliament over their elected assemblies.

-The Intolerable Acts were aimed at isolating Boston, the seat of the most radical anti-British sentiment, from the other colonies. Colonists responded to the Intolerable Acts with a show of unity, convening the First Continental Congress to discuss and negotiate a unified approach to the British.

-The Stamp Act. The American colonies were upset with the British because they put a tax on stamps in the colonies so the British can get out of debt from the French and Indian War and still provide the army with weapons and tools. So to help them get their money back they charged a tax on all of the American colonists.
