Answer:

The following might have happened if the Founding Fathers had accepted the Articles of Confederation:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the first governing document of the United States. This document did not provide enough powers and authority to the central government. Moreover, the lack of a national army, national currency, national laws weakened the national government. As a result of this, a strong federal government was required. Consequently, a new Constitution was prepared for the United States.

The following might have happened if the Founding Fathers had accepted the Articles of Confederation:

  • Various other countries would have attacked the states of the United States.
  • The outsiders would have established their autocracy in the states of the U.S. in lack of the national government and national army.
  • The states themselves would have tried to establish their control over each other to enlarge their territories.
