1. why did the articles of confederation create a weak federal government

• a. americans wanted a strong monarchy
• b. states feared losing power to a central government
• c. congress wanted more control over trade
• d. the supreme court required it

1. which problem helped lead to the creation of the constitution?

Explanation:

1. For the first question: Americans had just fought a war to escape a strong central authority (British monarchy), so they did not want a strong monarchy. Congress had very little power under the Articles, including over trade, and the Supreme Court did not exist under the Articles. The states, having just gained autonomy, feared giving up power to a new central government, so they designed a weak federal system.
2. The second question is incomplete as no options are provided, so it cannot be answered fully. However, common issues that led to the Constitution included the federal government's inability to tax, regulate interstate trade, or quell uprisings like Shays' Rebellion under the Articles of Confederation.

Answer:

1. B. States feared losing power to a central government
