Answer:

They did not give the central government enough power to act.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's not B because the states had majority of the power (They had majority of the power because of fear of a tyrannical leader), not C because checks and balances wasn't created in the USA until 1787 (Constitution) and not D because the federal government couldn't even tax with the articles of confederation.
