The main reason was that the articles of confederation allowed for too weak a government to provide for common defense, this original constitution drifted to far towards Anarchy. If you do not understand the American political system the way it was let me explain. on the extreme left side is Tyranny which has great control over the people and is unfair, monarchies, oligarchies and to a lesser extent democracies fall under the category of Tyrannical government systems. On the extreme right side of the of the political bar is Anarchy which has no law and the people have no protection or laws save themselves. In the center of the bar is a republic which has the correct balance of government and freedom and is controlled by the people. With the articles of confederation being too far to the right side the government would destabilize and probably be turned into an oligarchy or other tyrannical government. So the founders developed a new constitution that was a Republic and in the center of the political spectrum and could remain strong without infringing peoples natural rights.
