Because the British government had imposed taxes on colonists without representation, the drafters of the Articles of Confederation established strong state governments. With the approval of the Articles of Confederation in 1781, a national government was also established but it had limited powers. For this reason, the first option (established a strong central government) is wrong.The thirteen state governments were the ones who had the most power. So, the last option (limited state governments) is also wrong, first of all, because before the Articles of Confederation state governments didn't exist and, secondly, because these articles founded and empowered the thirteen independent state governments. Finally, the state governments established by the Articles of Confederation were as unwilling as the central government to change the tax regulation. Thus, the third option(removed taxes) is also incorrect.
