Americans wanted a stronger government than the Articles of Confederation provided for a number of reasons. The Articles of Confederation lacked the necessary powers to govern effectively leaving it unable to enforce laws collect taxes or provide for a unified military. The Articles of Confederation also did not have any means of resolving disputes between the states. Furthermore the Articles of Confederation did not have a strong executive branch and could not create a unified currency. Finally the Articles of Confederation did not allow for the direct participation of citizens in the government and it was difficult to amend the Articles of Confederation.

An executive branch
To provide a governing structure for the nation it provided the first set rules and organize the government for the United States of America. It was the first Constitution for the United States of America. Set up the form of the national government. To keep order in the government.
The Articles provided states' rights, but lacked a strong central government.

The nation's first Constitution was the Articles of Confederation, which lead to a weak central government. The government did not have the power to tax, coin money, and lacked a standing army, among other weaknesses.
The Articles of Confederation were created on the basis that a strong government like the one in Britain was not wanted. The A of C lacked many powers, such as the power to tax. The U.S. Constitution gave the provisions for a stronger federal government.
The Articles of Confederation were deemed to weak to control a government. It lacked powers such as the right to tax and the right to hold a standing army. It was later replaced by the Constitution, which included stronger powers and more powers to control what happened in the country.
The government only had one branch and lacked the ability to tax and draft.
The Articles of Confederation did NOT provide the United States with an effective government. It lacked many powers that we now have. For example the government in the 1780's couldn't impose taxes, it was unicameral, and it could not declare war. If it would have been effective we would still be under the power of the articles instead of the constitution.
