Think-Pair-Share: Why was the original intent of the Articles of Confederation to create a weak national government designed to deal only with an immediate crisis?​

Explanation:

The colonists felt unfairly taxed, watched over like children by Great Britain, and ignored in their attempts to address their grievances. Taxation without representation in the form of the Sugar Act and Stamp Act paired with the enforced rule of Parliament in Declaratory Act caused the colonists to rebel in the form of boycotts, then protests, and finally riots. The British invasion in the colonies paired with the Quartering Act and Townshend Act pushed the colonies toward revolution; but it was the Tea Act that acted as the tipping point as it caused Great Britain to double down in force on the colonies with the Coercive or Intolerable Acts. These acts pushed the colonies to organize the First Continental Congress and begin drafting the Declaration of Independence - that officially severed the colonies ties to Britain, leading to the American Revolution
