A. The Articles of Confederation had a weak central government.

Explanation: Under the Articles Congress lacked power to tax, regulate commerce, enforce laws, or maintain a strong executive or judiciary. This led to economic troubles, interstate disputes, and events like Shays' Rebellion, prompting the Constitutional Convention and the stronger federal Constitution.
