Canadians took into perspective the framers or systems used in other for the new country. United States, for instance, had a beautifully written Constitution Bill of Rights, and yet the Americans were engaged in a destructive civil war. The problems with the American system of government was that it gave too little power to the central government and too much to the states.
Another obvious model to consider was the unitary systemof Great Britain, where power was centralized in one parliament led by a prime minister. Because of the difference in geographic size between Canada and Great Britain, this system did not seem practical for a country as large and diverse as Canada.

What did the delegates at the Constitutional Convention believe that they were going to do to the Articles of Confederation?
The "original" intention of at least some of the delegates was to "amend" or "improve" the Articles because of the weaknesses of the Confederation (e.g. no elected executive, no taxing power, no standing armed forces, uncoordinated court systems). These made the function of the central government (actually just Congress) difficult and sometimes impossible. After discussions began, the delegates began to see that rewriting the Articles to address these problems was not going to work. What was needed was an entirely new framework for the federal government, unimpeded by the old one. So they began to devise the new US Constitution, based on proven historical models.
