The Constitution was designed to solve the major weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. One of the most serious problems was the lack of federal power. The Executive Branch, missing in the Articles, was created to enforce Federal Laws in the country. The government under the Constitution also had the power to tax. Under the Articles, only state governments could tax due to fears of monarchy and tyranny that might result if the federal government was allowed to tax. However, the federal government had to depend on the states for revenue, which the states did not always give. This was a serious problem because the US had $27 million in war debts. The first sign that the new Constitution was better than the old Articles of Confederation was the Whiskey Rebellion, in which the new government aptly showed its ability to enforce its laws.

The Articles of Confederation as well as the United States Constitution were intended to define the rights of citizens of the country. If French and English settlers were citizens of the colonies, the rights that were outlined in both documents would represent them as well.
The Articles of Confederation did NOT provide the United States with an effective government. It lacked many powers that we now have. For example the government in the 1780's couldn't impose taxes, it was unicameral, and it could not declare war. If it would have been effective we would still be under the power of the articles instead of the constitution.

When the United States became an independent country, we wanted to be different from a Kingdom. The Articles of Confederation were created to serve the purpose of our current Constitution. However, the articles of confederation were extremely weak and did not provide strong government. The constitution was written to have a stronger government. A few years after the constitution was established, the Bill of Rights was added to the constitution in the form of the first ten amendments. The Bill of Rights protected rights of all people.
