Even though the Articiles of Confederation left the central government weak, it further empowered the states and the people's participation in the politics of the country.
Congress asked the states to create new constitutions for themselves, each one combined the best of the British government and other American specialized ideas.
Although the state constitutions did allow more freedoms in voting, it didn't extend those freedoms to women or slaves. The states continued to maintain that an elected official (Or officials) would represent the people's opinions regardless of the freedom to vote on their own.
