Articles of Confederation *did not grant a federal power to tax or regulate commerce *did not establish a common currency *did not establish an executive or judicial branch Based on the list above, what I can infer about the drafters of the Articles of Confederation is that they were fearful of a strong central government abusing its power.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the drafters of the Articles of Confederation that was the first United States Constitution. The Articles were passed in November 1777 but were ratified until March 1781.

The Articles clearly favor the sovereign of the states and authorized the states to collect money through taxation. Congress had to ask the states for money when needed. The central government was weak and only could manage a port office or deal with the Native American Indian issues, among other minor duties.
