True.
The Articles of Confederation were made before the Constitution. The Articles of Confederation was lacking in many things such as balance between states, taxes, and how to ratify amendments. The Constitution solved all of these problems.
The requirement for unanimous consent of the states to adopt or ratify an amendment is found in Article XIII of the Articles of Confederation. This article stipulates that any alteration or amendment to the Articles would require the approval of all thirteen states. This provision made it extremely difficult to amend the Articles, contributing to the eventual decision to draft a new Constitution.
