Answer:

Dickenson focused on the massive power of central government.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first ever constitution of America, the Articles of Confederation, drafted by John Dickenson was adopted by the Continental congress of USA on 15th November, 1777.

The main focus of this confederation was on a strong State government and opposed against the massive power of central government. Dickenson demanded more power in the hands of State government than central government. It has been replaced with the present constitution of America in 1789.
