Why do you think the Articles of Confederation were more successful during the Revolutionary war than they were after the war ended?

Answer 1

The Articles of Confederation was hastily drawn, and gave the country a skeletal government framework that lacked the authority to levy and raise taxes. The Revolutionary War produced a considerable War debt that needed to be paid, and clearer definitions of state and federal powers needed to be set in place. The Constitutional Convention was called to alter the Articles to provide for these additions. However, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison persuaded the attendees to draft and new document.
