Question

why did they replace the articles of confederation

Answer 2

mark me as brain list plz
The Articles created a looseconfederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. The need for a stronger Federal government soon became apparent and eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787
