Americans sought a new plan of government after experiencing difficulties under the Articles of Confederation, which created a weak central government unable to address issues like economic instability and interstate conflicts. They desired a stronger federal authority to maintain order, manage trade, and provide for national defense. The shortcomings of the Articles highlighted the need for a more balanced system that could effectively govern and protect the rights of citizens. This ultimately led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.
