The Articles of Confederation placed most government power and responsibility with the State governments. It is simple, because the Federal government had almost no power and was almost bankrupt at the end of the revolution.
ANSWER: State government.
The Articles of Confederation placed most government power and responsibility with the state governments, resulting in a weak national government. This structure led to significant challenges in national governance, including inability to raise taxes or regulate trade effectively. These issues highlighted the necessity for a stronger central government, eventually leading to the U.S. Constitution.
