Establishing unity among state governments

Explanation:

With the reading of the excerpt presented in the question above, we can see that there was a concern, among the authors of the articles of the confederation, in the way the states would behave in the relationship between themselves. This was because, before the American revolution, the states were colonies and acted completely independently of each other, however, in order for the republic to work and benefit everyone, it was important that these states act as a unit, that is, act as a country. Thus, the excerpt shown in the question above, reinforces the sense of unity and collaboration between states, expressing a concern about this.
