The weakness in the Articles of Confederation was due to it's loose connection of the states, which gave the federal government little power such as the ability to tax. The Articles of Confederation weren't corrected instead The Constitution replaced it, which gave the federal government much more authority and power and strongly united the country.

What were the laws of America before the Constitution was made?

Before the Constitution was established in 1787, the United States operated under the Articles of Confederation, which were in effect from 1781 to 1789. The Articles of Confederation created a loose confederation of sovereign states with a weak central government. Under this system, the federal government lacked the power to tax, regulate trade, or enforce laws effectively, leading to various issues and challenges. The limitations of the Articles of Confederation ultimately led to the Constitutional Convention and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.

What Rebellion caused the leaders finally to call for a Constitutional Convention?

OK so here's how it really happened. Shays Rebellion- All of the farmers rebelled because the government was not helping them financially. They burned down government buildings. Congress had no right to stop them and had no control over them according to the Articles of Confederation, so they just watched the in terror. THIS BROUGHT EVERYONE TO REALIZE THAT THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION WAS TOO WEAK. The convention was called to fix it but we realized that it had too many flaws and just created a new constitution. Hoped that helped :)
