Hi Ben ! Been flying any kites lately ? . 'The original draft of the Articles of Confederation was written by the conservative John Dickinson and described a confederation that placed a significant amount of power in the hands of the central government, or Congress.' These were modified by radicals. Later the constitution was again modified so that ' ...the spirit expressed by Dickinson's original draft of the Articles of Confederation, which he could not persuade others to accept on purely theoretical terms, was later expressed in the U.S. Constitution.' http://www.sparknotes.com/history/american/articles/section1.html
