During America's Founding Period, the Articles of Confederation of 1781 served as one of the primary bases for the writing and ratification of the Constitution from 1787 to 1789. In numerous particular ways (for example, the membership and powers of Congress), the Articles provided key touch-points by which the Constitution would be drafted.
The Articles of Confederation was influenced by ," Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
The Articles of Confederation (drafted 1777, ratified 1781) influenced the US Constitution because they were the first, fatally-flawed attempt at a workable federal government. The weaknesses of the Articles led to a call for a convention to revise them. But it soon became clear that an entirely new document was needed, which became the US Constitution. Anti-Federalists feared that the new central government would have too much power at the expense of the states, and support for the new system was not unanimous. But it was adopted nonetheless, along with ten amendments (the Bill of Rights) that addressed concerns about the powers of the government over the rights of citizens.
Several tenets of the Articles were mirrored in the Constitution, including the "full faith and credit" among states, and the confirmation by Congress of treaties and Executive appointments.

No, this is why the Constitution was such a revolutionary idea.

The Articles of Confederation were replaced by the Constitution because it included the Bill of Rights.
The Articles of Confederation as well as the United States Constitution were intended to define the rights of citizens of the country. If French and English settlers were citizens of the colonies, the rights that were outlined in both documents would represent them as well.
The Articles of Confederation was the first form of the Constitution. However, it was very weak and ineffective. The states had more rights than the National Government.
the bill of rights
The idea that a strong central government threatens the rights of the people and of the states was a major influence on the authors of the Articles of Confederation.
No, the Articles were completed in 1783. The Constitution was approved in 1788. The Bill of Rights became part of the Constitution in 1792.
It allowed congress to do things they the couldn't when they had the Articles of Confederation around. Such as raise taxes and have natural rights.

The Articles of Confederation were not specific enough. Until the Constitution was written and the Bill of Rights were added, states such as Virginia refused to sign.
federalists= supported the Constitution after seeing that the Articles of Confederation were failing anti-federalists= supported the Articles of Confederation and would only support the Constitution if we added a Bill of Rights so we did
