too little power for the courts
a too small legislature
too much power in the central government
too much power the state governments

Answer 1

too much power in the central government i think that is the right answer?
On July 12, 1776, just eight days after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Dickenson brought a first draft to the delegates. It proposed a strong central government that had the power to levy taxes. The central government would control the western lands, and the states would be equally represented in the government.

Many delegates to the convention didn’t like Dickenson’s plan. They felt there was too much concern about setting up a strong central government. Many felt they had seen enough of strong central government under British rule. Therefore, the committee went back to work.
