The main idea of this cartoon is that the articles of confederation

The Articles of Confederation were a loose government sort of plan that was made after the Revouloutionary War. They gave the states most of the power because the states were scared of having a national government because they thought it would become another monarchy.The Articles of Confederation, formally the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, was an agreement among the 13 original states of the United States of America that served as its first constitution. It was approved, after much debate, by the Second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777, and sent to the states for ratification. The Articles of Confederation came into force on March 1, 1781, after being ratified by all 13 states. A guiding principle of the Articles was to preserve the independence and sovereignty of the states. The central government established by the Articles received only those powers which the former colonies had recognized as belonging to king and parliament.
