The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government. The Constitution created a strong central government. The Articles did not create an executive branch. Congress was a unicameral legislature. There was no federal court system under the Articles. Congress could not enforce the laws nor levy and collect taxes without the approval of the states, under the Articles. A major weakness under the Articles was its lack of power to regulate trade between the states and with foreign nations.
The articles of confederation were the first attempt at government in the US. The only problem is the federal government had no power to make states do anything. The constitution gave congress explicit powers and ways to enforce them.
This question is nonsensical. It asks how something is different from itself. This is a violation of the reflexive identity (i.e. every singular definable object is exactly the same as itself).
The first constitution had very weak national government and the states started to fight against each other and started acting like their own countries.
If you want a lot more info on the Founders and our history you should look at a book called We the People. It sounds boring, but it has Cartoons in it, too! I read it and know all about the Constitution now. I'm 11 years old!
The main difference between the two was the fact that it switched the power from the states to the federal government which we now have today. Under the Articles each individual state could print its own money making it difficult to trade across state lines. Also under the Articles the government could not tax so we were broke. The constitution fixed all of that and more.
The articles of confederation were, in a way, our first constitution.
The constitution; however, is a lot more detailed and takes care of a lot more things than the Articles.
Under the Articles, the federal government was much weaker. The Constitution allowed for more federal power. The Constitution created a much stronger government.

Before our current Constitution, there was the Articles of Confederation between the various states. For a variety of reasons, the Articles of Conferation proved unsatisfactory, and so a Convention was convened to debate the formation of a "a more perfect union" through a new Constitution.
