Why did the writers of the Constitution feel it was necessary to create a new plan of government?
The Framers wrote the Constitution because they were thoroughly displeased with the system of government established by the Articles of Confederation, which as the name implies was theoretically a federation of independent states. They wanted to radically change the government and thus they did not use the Articles of Confederation as a starting point. In addition, the terms of the Constitution's ratification were different than those of the Confederation: for it to come into effect, only 9 states had to ratify for the Constitution. Since it can be argued that ultimately all the states eventually ratified the Constitution, this was apparentlly a legitimate amending of the Articles of the Confederation under the rules of the Articles. If 9-12 states approved, the Constitution would still come into effect in violation of the Articles rules forbidding any other alliance between states. One of the reasons for this is that if 9 or more states formed their own alliance, the other states would become fully independent and lose the trade and defense benefits of the Confederation, and this put additional pressure on the last ratifying states.

Who held the power of the Articles of Confederation?
Essentially, the state governments held most of the power under the Articles of Confederation. The founding fathers wanted to keep as far away from a monarchy like Britain's, which gave nearly all power to the central government, as possible. As a result of the terms of the Articles of Confederation, though, each state functioned almost like its own individual country instead of a component of the United States, the central government couldn't do anything about it, and the entire country faced economic issues because the central government couldn't tax its people.

Who is the first president to occupy the white house?
In super-technical terms, George Washington was, but in reality he was the 8th president. The first President was actually John Hanson under the Articles of Confederation in 1781. But his presidency was downplayed because technically we were not the "United States of America" but he was still the first president because the Dec Of Ind declared us free of Britain, yet united the colonies, and so they became the United "States". But since it wasnt in writing, and because the Articles of Confederation werent such a success, people began to challenge this. And this is where we get "George Washington first president" from.
