The Articles of Confederation were created primarily to form a basic government to run the war against England. They aimed to establish a functioning government structure that could coordinate efforts among the states during the Revolutionary War while maintaining a degree of state sovereignty. The Articles were intentionally designed to limit the powers of the central government, reflecting the colonists' fears of centralized authority, which they had experienced under British rule.
