Why were the articles of confederation created the way they were?

The Articles of Confederation were created the way they were because of the way the British government had oppressed the American colonists. Therefore, the Articles of Confederation were structured in a way that allowed the federal government little to no power over taxes or individual states. Each state has its own individual government that created its own laws and printed its own money.
