The correct answer is B. Limited and restricted functions for the central government.
The reason that this was part of the first draft of the Articles of Confederation was because of the treatment of American colonists by King George III. Many American colonists felt that the British government was extremely unfair, as King George III had significant political power while the colonists had very little. Colonists felt that too much power in a central government resulted in a tyrannical ruler. This is why when the colonists developed the Articles of Confederation, they made the federal government weak and made the strong governments strong.
