True or false: under the articles of confederation, the federal government was the most powerful level of government. {explain}

false . the articles of confederation gave state governments much more power than the federal government, making the federal government very weak . the colonists were trying to break away from the overpowering monarchy that the british government had . however, giving all of the power to the states instead of the federal government made the government too weak, so they developed a new system of government. they wrotethe constitution to replace the articles of confederation. the constitution made a stronger federal government, and gave power to both the federal government and the state governments. this system is called federalism.

the federalist party which advocated strong centralization dominated the united states government till 1800. so 1800 election transformed the power from one party to another party for the first time and was thus a turning point in american history. so jefferson called it "revolution of 1800".
