Answer:

Option A, To preserve the powers of the individual states , is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first governing document of the newly freed states of the United States is known as the Articles of Confederation. It was an arrangement for how to contribute power between the national government and the sovereign states.

The thirteen states of America under the Articles of Confederation did not want to have a substantial national government due to the very concern that a substantial national government may establish a tyranny just as the British once had.

Therefore, in order to preserve the powers of the individual states, the Articles of Confederation established a weak national government.
