freedom, independence, and a firm league of friendship
The Preamble
The preamble
The inability of the central government to gain support from the states under the Articles of Confederation led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, particularly emphasizing the establishment of a stronger federal government. This was reflected in the creation of the Supremacy Clause in Article VI, which asserts that federal laws take precedence over state laws. Additionally, the Constitution introduced mechanisms for federal taxation and regulation of commerce, addressing the weaknesses of the Articles that had hindered effective governance.
I have absolutly no idea!
They could give less power to the states while still letting them be independent and free. This would allow the central government to regulate trade, tax fairly which in turn would pay off the war debt. Also, due to the Articles of Confederation, any one state legislature had the power to hold back any ratification that was passed by every other state. This allowed that one state to ask for anything for its own personal gain which might ruin the economy.
The Federalist argued that the constitution needed to be ratified in order to correct the issues of the Articles of Confederation. The Federalist focused their arguments on the benefits of a national government.
there will be a gain of 16.562 percent.

Alberta wanted to join the Confederation to further their economic ability, gain money, and access to the Trans-Canada railway.
The framers of these articles wanted a very weak central Government. The Articles of Confederation were the first attempt at this setup. These set up a very weak central Government that separated us from England. It turns out that these were too weak to Govern adequately. As a result 55 of our founding leaders met to hammer out a breathing document that could be updated and yet was weak enough to allow freedom of (not from) religion and other basic freedoms.The issue has been keeping our freedoms and still having a workable Government. The founding fathers realized that any Government tends to become self growing and stifles freedom of it's citizens through providing for it's people. The fathers realized that there was no free lunch. People are sometimes willing to give up their freedoms for very short term gain. Freedom of traveling in place of the fear of being hurt while traveling or losing your ability to care for yourself in the manner you wish in exchange for "free" health care for young people are two great examples. Balancing these issues is the trick of our ability to amend the Constitution..
