The Second Continental Congress created a weak central government under the Articles of Confederation because they wanted to stop abuse of power and tyranny by the central government.

Further Explanation:

One of the most significant reasons behind America's decision to declare independence was the perceived tyranny of the central government of Britain. Before 1776, the American colonists felt that the British government (i.e. King George III, British parliament) was being tyrannical by implementing taxes without the colonists consent and punishing the colonists through laws like the Coercive Acts (aka Intolerable Acts).

These actions by the British government made it so that the American colonists resented a strong central government. This resulted in America's first constitution, the Articles of Confederation, having an extremely weak central government. Ultimately, this constitution would fail and be replaced by the US Constitution still in use today.

What was groundbreaking about the development of democracy
Thepotemich [5.8K]
Options A,C and D are not correct. They are generally not necessarily correct about democracy. First, democracy usually means a written law. second, democracy does not have to do with religion. On the other hand, however, democracy does not necessarily mean councils. I still think that B is the best answer since democracy means not being ruled by an absolute ruler although the ruler can be some sort of council or Parliament.
