denied powers
constituent
the articles of confederation created a very weak central government with limited powers.
conservative

Explanation:

The quote states Hamilton opposed the Articles of Confederation, arguing for a federal government with expanded powers (taxation, national bank, strong executive). The green text notes the Articles established a weak national government with limited powers, which directly aligns with Hamilton's critique: he wanted to move beyond this limited power structure to a stronger federal system.

Answer:

Denied Powers (The Articles of Confederation created a very weak national government with limited powers.)
