The correct answer is 4) They feared the kind of rule experienced under the British monarchy.

When America was still controlled by Britain, many colonists felt that the central government (in this case King George III) was tyrannical and unfair. Colonists pointed to the multiple taxes put on the colonists without being represented in the parliament and forcing American colonists to quarter (aka house) British soldiers as abuses of power. To ensure that this did not happen again, the Articles of Confederation called for the state governments to have the most power.
