The founding fathers still want a small central government. Also the Article of Confederation failed because there was no unified trade, currency and had to ask state to for money. If they had free trade, used gold and silver coin as the national currency and had something like a 20% tax on state revenue, then it could have worked better. Also congress couldn't pass laws so we have the same government system now but change it so only national issue become laws and leave stuff like moral issues to the state.
