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.

In what ways is the constitution more flexible than the articles of confederation?

It created a stronger federal government that would be superior in many but not all ways to the state governments.

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.
