If the Constitution had not been ratified, the United States would likely have continued operating under the Articles of Confederation, which created a weak central government unable to effectively manage economic issues or maintain national unity. In the short run, this could have led to increased instability, interstate conflicts, and economic turmoil. In the long run, the lack of a strong federal framework might have resulted in the disintegration of the Union, making it difficult to address issues like foreign relations, defense, and civil rights, potentially leading to fragmentation or even civil strife.
