Answer:The correct answer is A) creating a weak central government.

The authors of the Articles of Confederation preserved the independence of the states by creating a weak central government.

The Articles of Confederation are considered to be the first written Constitution of the United States. There were passed in 1777 but were ratified by the states until 1781. Under the Articles of Confederation, the states remained sovereign and independent and were the ones that could collect taxes. This meant that the central government was weak. And if it needed money, it had to ask the states for it.
