they gave very little power to the central government and if the central government wanted to pass something all the states would have to ratify it.
Under the Articles of Confederation, the American government was not even granted the power to tax as a way to raise revenue, very much unlike the American government under the US Constitution. The only way they could raise funds was by asking for money from the states, from foreign powers, or by selling off lands in the west.
The delegates to the Constitutional Convention were not authorized to write a new Constitution. They were only supposed to propose amendments to the Articles of Confederation. In that sense they had no authority at all to write a whole new constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation.
The articles did not include the power to tax by A1
to tax to regulate trade and to interfere with the affairs of the states

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.

A lot of ways. Perhaps the most important differences are that the Constitution had three branches, instead of just one, which balanced power better than in the Articles of Confederation, and it gave more power to the federal government.

Yes, because the United States under the Articles of Confederation operated as a loose group of individual states, which retained most of their sovereign status. States would be able to interfere with one another with no power over them to make them act as equals. In addition, the federal government had little authority to act as a government with foreign nations. The Articles simply did not establish a unified government. IF the switch had not been made to a government with a stronger federal system, the likelihood is that the individual states would have gone their own ways as they eventually tried to do before the Civil War.
Well they Articles of Confederation gave them to decide jail and stuff and your mama is UGLY
The Constitution was different from the Articles of Confederation in many ways. The Constitution gave our federal government more power, so it could sufficiently run. Under the Articles of Confederation our government was uni-cameral; the Constitution changed it to bi-cameral (House of Representatives and Senate). The US Constitution also created a court system which was previously not existing in the Articles of Confederation. Our constitution has enable to protect the rights of the citizens.
The Federalists papers were designed to inform the US citizens of how the government was set up. The paper attempted to demonstrate the ways that the Articles of Confederation were ill conceived.
