B. The 13 states were wary of a British-style government.

Explanation:

The 13 states found it dangerous to establish the British-style government. This is because the British government concentrated all power in the hands of one person, the king. All spheres of the British government were submissive to the king and this could encourage the king to be tyrant and authoritarian, acting for his own interests rather than acting for the interests of the nation. For this reason, the 13 states decided to establish a weak and limited government, where each sphere of government had a specific activity and could oversee the other spheres of government, so that none of them used the abuse of power against the nation.

Under the Articles of Confederation, there was a weak national government. This was because the 13 states were wary of a British-style government.

Explanation:

Since the war against Great Britain was still going on, the settlers did not want to establish another powerful national government. With the zeal to protect its new independence, the Continental Congress created a weak unicameral structure that protected the freedom of the member states. Although Congress regulated monetary and military matters, the Articles had not designed any mechanism to ensure that each State complied with the troops and the money that was needed. This weakened the army, as was the case in 1781 and which George Washington would make patent in a letter to the Governor of Massachusetts, John Hancock.

The states did not want an one-person centralized government, because they feared that it would become a tyranny, as had happened with the British monarchy. Therefore, they determined that a Congress formed by representatives of each state would exercise executive power.
