James Madison wanted to replace the Articles of Confederation because he thought they would have a stronger national government. But Patrick Henry wanted to keep the Articles. :))
The anti-federalists
The Articles of Confederation was a weak government. Shays Rebellion demonstrated this fact when government authorities could not decide whether the state or the national government should put down the revolt. Larger states wanted to do away with the Articles of Confederation because they thought the central government needed to be stronger while smaller states wanted to keep the Articles of Confederation because they were afraid of having a strong central government.

Patrick Henry
articles of confederation
The Articles of Confederation failed because the government had no way to collect taxes to keep itself running under it's legislature.
The articles didn’t reflect anything about the Enlightenment. They were written to keep the states as individuals and not as a whole unit. This is why they didn’t work.
