Answer 1

The list of omissions from the Articles of Confederation suggests the drafters' fears and uncertainties about a strong central government and their desire to avoid a judicial system based on Great Britain's.

Step-by-step explanation:

The list suggests that the drafters of the Articles of Confederation did not want to grant a federal power to tax or regulate commerce, establish a common currency, or establish an executive or judicial branch.

They likely had several reasons for these omissions. One reason is that they did not want a judicial system based upon that of Great Britain. They also feared that a strong central government would abuse its power. Additionally, they may have been uncertain that a democracy would continue to be the best type of government.
