The Second Continental Congress establish a weak central government under the Articles of Confederation to prevent abuse of power and tyranny by the central government

Option D

Explanation:

To prevent abuse of power and tyranny by the central government. The Articles of Confederation placed most powers in the hands of the states and established a weak central government. The central government therefore could not make laws related to taxes and economy and therefore the economy also faltered.

A strong central government meant that heavy taxes were levied to pay debts and the states had to face tyranny and abuse of the central government. It was difficult to get laws passed under Articles of Confederation because a unanimous vote was required and nine out of thirteen delegates were required to approve the law which was not always possible.
