We could be much more powerful with individual armies that stand strong over their state. Our country is vast and multiple, spread out governments would protect our lands better and one centralized government will. We could always make decisions to combine our state armies or form alliances with states, but the decision to give people like you all of the power? Or have only one army? These are decisions that could weaken or even fail our country. The Constitution isn’t perfect either, it comes with it’s own problems that are far larger than the ones we could easily fix with the Articles of Confederation.

Why should we form government that is similar to the one we just fought to withdraw from? If it wasn't working with Great Britain, why would we recreate a centralized government that removes individual power we have and need as individual states.
