Who is the great governor of the world referred to in the Articles of Confederation?
It has always been God.
Except in the case of the Constitution. The Great Governor of the World probably refers to "The Lord Jesus Christ" according to several previous State Constitutions).
Please see the Virginia Fundamental Orders of 1639. Since there is no "religious test" according to Article VI of the Constitution of the United States (a different document) the idea that non-Christians could hold office is quite possible.
Since non-Christians would not see Jesus = God, then the great governor of the world probably refers to Jesus Christ, or more accurately, his Vicar on Earth Pope Pius VI, who was subsequently deposed and imprisoned by Napoleon Bonaparte.
What ideas from the Article of Confederation ended up in the US Constitution?
In comparing the Article of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution I think that there are more differences than similarities. I believe that some of the similarities to be:
The name of the United States of America which is expressly used in the Articles but only referred to in the Preamble of the Constitution.
It was agreed that our country needed a Congress but there was some changes in exactly congress would be set up. The Articles set it up as unicameral (or one group), but changed it to bicameral (two groups) in the constitution.
The number of the members of Congress which asked for somewhere between two and seven members per state, but settled on two senators per state in the Constitution. (The constitution also included the House of Representatives with was decided by the population of the state).
Voting in Congress in which the articles asked for one vote per state while the constitution decided on one vote per Representative or Senator.
Adding an Amendment was written into the Articles when it was agreed upon by all states, the constitution left it as agreed upon by the states but changed it slightly to include agreement by only three fourths of the states.
The Ratification of an Amendment had to be unanimous in the Articles, but while the constitution left the power with the states, they changed it to only nine of the states required for the consent of ratification.
Congress is allowed to build a Navy in both the Articles and the Constitution, but the constitution added that individual states may not keep ships of war.
Congress is allowed to raise an Army
The power to coin money is allowed by the government and the states in the Articles, however the constitution disallowed the states to coin money and left it just as the U.S. government.

Sovereignty
Can you help you with the achievements of the articles of the confederations?
Under the Articles of Confederation the American colonists fought and defeated Great Britain and gained independence. By the end of the "Confederation era," Congers had created a bureaucracy to administer the day-to-day affairs of the government. The issue over the western lands was solved under the Articles. The large states holding vast amounts of western land ceded the land to the government under the Articles so that all the states could share in the wealth of those lands. The Northwest Ordinances were passed that provided for the creation of equal, self governing states in the Northwest Territories and the newly created states would have the same rights and privileges as the original 13 states. Congress also provided for a survey of the western lands to prepare the land for sale to all. Under the Articles, the states were held together until a new government under the Constitution was created. The new nation began to emerge as one respecting the ideas that had caused the Revolutionary War in the first place.
