how did the articles of confederation limit the power of the federal government

The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States. Along with this, it is known for being incredibly weak and giving little power to the federal government. Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government could not tax the states, draft soldiers, regulate trade, or even amend and create new laws.

With the Articles of Confederation being so weak, many people started to realize that having a government that actually had power would be better and strengthen the power of the country as a whole. These people were called Federalists. On the other hand, people who wanted to keep the federal government limited and keep the power in the hands of the people were called Anti-Federalists.

When the Constitutional Convention of 1787 happened, the original goal was just to simply amend the Articles of Confederation. This obviously did not happen though, as the Articles of Confederation was scrapped as a whole and the United States Constitution was created instead, which gave power to the federal government.

Presently they descried people, naked, and the Admiral landed in the boat, which was armed, along with Martin Alonzo Pinzon, and Vincent Yanez his brother, captain of the Nina. . . . The Admiral called upon the two Captains, and the rest of the crew who landed, as also to Rodrigo de Escovedo notary of the fleet, and Rodrigo Sanchez, of Segovia, to bear witness that he before all others took possession (as in fact he did) of that island for the King and Queen his sovereigns, making the requisite declarations, which are more at large set down here in writing. Numbers of the people of the island straightway collected together. Here follow the precise words of the Admiral: "As I saw that they were very friendly to us, and perceived that they could be much more easily converted to our holy faith by gentle means than by force, I presented them with some red caps, and strings of beads to wear upon the neck, and many other trifles of small value, wherewith they were much delighted, and became wonderfully attached to us. Afterwards they came swimming to the boats, bringing parrots, balls of cotton thread, javelins, and many other things which they exchanged for articles we gave them, such as glass beads, and hawk's bells; which trade was carried on with the utmost good will. But they seemed on the whole to me, to be a very poor people. . . . Weapons they have none, nor are acquainted with them, for I showed them swords which they grasped by the blades, and cut themselves through ignorance. They have no iron, their javelins being without it, and nothing more than sticks, though some have fish-bones or other things at the ends. They are all of a good size and stature, and handsomely formed. I saw some with scars of wounds upon their bodies, and demanded by signs the of them; they answered me in the same way, that there came people from the other islands in the neighborhood who endeavored to make prisoners of them, and they defended themselves. I thought then, and still believe, that these were from the continent. It appears to me, that the people are ingenious, and would be good servants and I am of opinion that they would very readily become Christians, as they appear to have no religion. They very quickly learn such words as are spoken to them. If it please our Lord, I intend at my return to carry home six of them to your Highnesses, that they may learn our language." These are the words of the Admiral.
