In the Confederation, states retained power of the nation, so sovereignty remained only in the states. In the Constitution, the Representatives, President, and people had more power.

How did the articles of confederation influence the us?

It was the first set of rules governing the early years of the United States It had flaws that cried out to be remedied in a revised scheme, that turned out to be the Constitution. The Articles had both a weak executive and a very weak national government. Rather than the Federal system which developed under the Constitution, the Articles left mostpower in the hands of the states who retained their rights to armies and taxation. The power did not actually reside in "the people" but, rather, in the states who could have their own laws and taxes and there wasn't much the central government could do about it under the Articles. Although the Constitution was careful to give powers to the Federal government, there was an amendment required by compromise that insisted that all rights not specifically granted to the Federal government was reserved to the states. Nevertheless, the Constitution provided much more of a balance and, indeed, enhancement of the power of the central (Federal) government.
