The Articles of Confederation did not fully reflect the principle of "republicanism" because it stated one political party should maintain most of the power voters had no say in who represented them in federal government state governments were inferior to the national government representatives from each state government were elected by the people

One could argue that the Articles of Confederation did not fully reflect the principles of republicanism for voters had no say in who represented them in federal government. This was because state governments were to have more power then the federal government.

It could be argued that the Articles of Confederation did not fully reflect the principle of "republicanism" because "voters had no say in who represented them in federal government," since the states were supposed to have far more power over the federal government.
