Well... The thing was, scrapping the Articles of Confederation wasn't planned, from what I understand. When what later would be called the Constitutional Convention was called up in Philidelphia (Our capitol, before D.C had been planned and built) the original delegates simply planned to rewrite the Articles, as I understand. However, upon careful investigation, they reached a consensus that the Articles were simply too flawed to be simply rewritten, so they decided to scrap the Articles, and began the drafting of what is now the United States Constitution.
Short answer, the Constitution.
The Articles of Confederation created a loose confederation of 13 independent states with a weak central government instead of creating one united nation with a strong central government like the constitution.
The Articles of Confederation were written to reduce a strong central government seizing power and creating a tyrannical situation in the newly created United States. The former colonists distrusted powerful government, and the Articles were written to spread governmental power into the individual states as much as possible.
It was James Madison who was responsible for the plan to change the Articles of Confederation. Madison served as the 4th U.S. President.
It created a stronger federal government that would be superior in many but not all ways to the state governments. The Articles of Confederation simply created a loos conglomeration of the states each acting as if it were a country of its own. In many ways the states could not get along with one another, such as in areas of interstate commerce. Something had to be done to make the states co-operate with one another so the stronger federal system was created.
Local governments are responsible for creating cities and counties.
