One reason for the establishment of the Articles of Confederation was that leaders believed that in order to achieve independence, there should be a national government. To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the other options by understanding the historical context. The Articles of Confederation were established in 1777 as the first written constitution of the United States. The primary motive behind the Articles was to create a system that allowed the thirteen colonies to work together and govern themselves during the Revolutionary War against Britain. Therefore, the option stating that leaders believed a more centralized government was needed that gave power to the president is incorrect, as the Articles of Confederation actually established a decentralized government with a weak central authority. Additionally, the option regarding the payment of national debt is not accurate because the Articles did not encompass financial matters in the same way that the U.S. Constitution does. Lastly, while it can be argued that the Articles of Confederation were created to show rebellion against the British king, this was not the primary reason for their establishment.
