Answer 1

The creation of a strong central government to address issues of state sovereignty and weak federal authority.

Explanation: Under the Articles of Confederation the national government was too weak (couldn’t tax, regulate commerce, or enforce laws), prompting crises like Shays’ Rebellion and leading to the Constitutional Convention to form a stronger federal government.
