The list suggests that **they feared that a strong central government would abuse its power**.
The drafters of the Articles of Confederation were significantly influenced by their experiences under British rule, which led them to prioritize state sovereignty and limit the powers of the federal government. This is evidenced by their decisions to withhold the federal power to tax, regulate commerce, and establish a strong executive or judicial branch.

Yes, I am confident in that interpretation. The drafters of the Articles of Confederation were primarily motivated by a desire to avoid the concentration of power in a central government, which they associated with their experiences under British rule.
By intentionally limiting the powers of the federal government—especially in areas like taxation, commerce regulation, and the establishment of an executive or judicial branch—they aimed to preserve the autonomy of the individual states and protect against potential tyranny. Thus, the points in your list strongly suggest a fear of a strong central government that could abuse its power.
