Answer 1

A. A fear that a weak central government would allow states to reestablish old alliances with Britain was not a major issue for the framers of the Articles of Confederation, as they were more concerned with the balance of power between state and central governments to prevent tyranny.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major issue not addressed by the framers of the Articles of Confederation was A. A fear that a weak central government would allow some states to reestablish old alliances with Britain.

The key concerns during the creation of the Articles were to ensure a balance between the power of state governments and the central government, preventing any state from having too much influence, and deciding who would have access to newly acquired land.

The Articles of Confederation ultimately created a weak central government because of a fear of tyranny, which resembled too closely the rule from which the American people had recently liberated themselves. This concern for avoiding the reestablishment of a strong central authority took precedence over fears of foreign alliances with states.
