It did not give the central government enough power
The Articles of Confederation created only a legislative branch of government as to prevent Congress from gaining full control. Their method of doing this was creating a "firm league of friendship" rather than a strong central government and allowing states to retain the most power. In doing so, however, many feared that some states would retain too much power and dominate others in the national government. The Articles of Confederation dealt with these fears by giving each state only one vote regardless of its population and ordaining that on important issues, nine states would have to agree in order to come to a solution.
They didn't wait 50 years to change, but rather it was March of 1881 it was written and the constitution was in 1889.
The delegates of the Constitutional Convention were supposed to revise the Articles of Confederation, not create an entirely new government. This four month convention in Philadelphia lasted from May 25 to September 17, 1787.

It was the first set of rules governing the early years of the United States It had flaws that cried out to be remedied in a revised scheme, that turned out to be the Constitution. The Articles had both a weak executive and a very weak national government. Rather than the Federal system which developed under the Constitution, the Articles left mostpower in the hands of the states who retained their rights to armies and taxation. The power did not actually reside in "the people" but, rather, in the states who could have their own laws and taxes and there wasn't much the central government could do about it under the Articles. Although the Constitution was careful to give powers to the Federal government, there was an amendment required by compromise that insisted that all rights not specifically granted to the Federal government was reserved to the states. Nevertheless, the Constitution provided much more of a balance and, indeed, enhancement of the power of the central (Federal) government.
The US would not have survived under the Articles of Confederation. They didn't give the Federal government enough authority to govern a sovereign country. The UK and possibly other nations would have eventually recolonized the States, one by one.

It did not give too much power to the central government. Not one group had ample power over another and gave the people a more individual feeling rather than a strict union.
It created a stronger federal government that would be superior in many but not all ways to the state governments. The Articles of Confederation simply created a loos conglomeration of the states each acting as if it were a country of its own. In many ways the states could not get along with one another, such as in areas of interstate commerce. Something had to be done to make the states co-operate with one another so the stronger federal system was created.
