Answer:
A Strong central government
Explanation:
On July 12, 1776, just eight days after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Dickenson brought a first draft to the delegates. It proposed a strong central government that had the power to levy taxes. The central government would control the western lands, and the states would be equally represented in the government.
Many delegates to the convention didn’t like Dickenson’s plan. They felt there was too much concern about setting up a strong central government. Many felt they had seen enough of strong central government under British rule. Therefore, the committee went back to work.
In November, 1777, a revised draft of the Articles was submitted to the Continental Congress. This version assured the independence of the states and limited the functions of the central government.
