Questions: 1: I believe the founding fathers decided to make a weaker national government because they didn't want to become what they fought extremely hard to get away from (britain). 2: In my opinion, the glaring issue with the Articles of Confederation was that all states had equal power meaning all thirteen states had to be in agreement. 3: The part that stayed is there's still representatives of each state.

Cause: 1: taxes were high due to war with britain
2:
Effect: 1: Shay's rebellion
