The articles of confederation ended when the Constitutional Convention met to revise them, they ended up starting fresh with the Constitution. The reason they started fresh with the Constitution is because originally, Congress wanted to grant itself more powers to regulate commerce between states and foreign nations. They were unable to get unanimous support for this, as required by the Articles of Confederation. So, rather than abide by the rules of the Articles of Confederation, which were too inconvenient, the Constitution was drafted to replace it.
