I think they did this so that they would not have the same problems, and could avoid it if possible. They did not want another thing like what happened with the British.

The congress shaped the articles of confederation because they helped show there dominance and showed that they were fully functional and could be there own country.

They did this so the same thing wouldn't repeat itself. They didn't want to be  ruled over by someone like King George and they all wanted a say in what happens.

I think that Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did was to not give the government too much power and trying to make sure that the colonists aren't overwhelemd

I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way that they did because they wanted to prove that their independence would be better for them. To make their nation different than how it was when King George III ruled over them. This may cause potential problem because they may not get very far when attempting to give each state their own independence and freedom. Rather than being united will lead to their government won't prove very effective.

I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did because they feared that they'll become a country similar to Britain. Because of the many problems they had with Britain in the past, they made the Articles of Confederation so that they'll avoid problems like the ones in the past.

so they would not have the same problem Britian had

The initial purpose for the Articles of Confederation was to change what they didn't like about the government in Britain and that left many problems. They may not have liked the amount of power the government had, but they chose to put all the power to the people. That left America without any leaders and indecisive about any major decisions. Even with the people in power, they needed a leader to make the tough calls.

I believe that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation like that because they wanted all the states to be content and happy with the government and their choices. Some problems that may arise could be the states would be treated unfairly, the states could also have big problems that may not be solved fairly or correct.

I believe they shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did because they wanted to give the states independence and they didn't want another problem to break out.

I think the Continental Congress shaped the articles of confederation that way because they didn't want any more problems like they did in the past , and some of the problems that I see is that they are not really working together and they are all doing their own thing .

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Continental Congress shaped Articles of Confederation the way they did because they wanted to change the way from the British and not give government too much power, and also let the people have freedom. They wanted to avoid the same problems they face with the British.

I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did because they want to be happy with their independence, and doesn't want to cause any problems.

I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did so that they would not have the same issues they had with Britain among themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way that they did because they wanted the states to have a say and not give the government a lot of power. They wanted the citizens to be able to be independent yet work together as whole to make their own laws.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they shaped the articles of confederation the way they did because they wanted to give the states independence, and in order for that to happen the government had to have little control over them. Some of the potential problems might have been that the states would have disagreements and the congress didn't have a lot of power so they wouldn't be able to settle it.

# data[].attributes.body
The Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way that they did because they did not want what happen to the British, happen again. That also meant every state has the same rights. Everyone gets what they want. This can cause things to be slow because everyone has to agree.

I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did because they didn't want to have another repeat of what happened last time. With these new laws they could individually have their freedom and wouldn't have another Great Britain repeat.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did so then they wouldn't have any repeated problems. Also they wanted to be fair to all of the states so then there would not be any problems between the states. Some features might be a problem because it gives the states less hope in their congress and makes them have less confidence in the congress(they do not have a good army/a lot of money)

# data[].attributes.body
The Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did because it could give each state its own power and freedom. This could also cause financial problems because the citizens do not pay the tax as much and because of that the Government could end up in a down fall and in financial depths.

# data[].attributes.body
They shaped the Articles of Confederation like that because they believed that the government had to have little power, and the states could make their own decisions and options. Although this sounded good in the beginning, later on, the government would not be able to settle issues, or have a proper army, or have enough money. This could possibly weaken the nation and eventually collapse it due to too much power being associated with the 13 states.

# data[].attributes.body
They had many fears that they would become another Britain, which was what they were trying to get away from in the first place. Some of the Articles were too fair, making the government very weak with almost no power. Disputes and other conflicts could go on forever between states without the Congress to be able to stop it. The colonies probably could overrule all the Congress' actions and put the Congress "out of business".

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did because they didn't want the events that happened to them with Great Britain to be repeated. Some problems that I see are that all the colonies have a lot of power to themselves, which can eventually break out into a war between the colonies themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Articles of Confederation the way they did because they wanted all of the states to be independent, as well as all the colonists to have a say in the laws. One of the problems might be too much power over the colonies, which can lead to overruling the government. Another problem might be conflicts between the states, since the government will not help out in state rivalries, according to the confederation.
