Differences between the articles of confederation and the constitution?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government. The Constitution created a strong central government. The Articles did not create an executive branch. Congress was a unicameral legislature. There was no federal court system under the Articles. Congress could not enforce the laws nor levy and collect taxes without the approval of the states, under the Articles. A major weakness under the Articles was its lack of power to regulate trade between the states and with foreign nations.

∙ 9y agoThe articles of confederation were the first attempt at government in the US. The only problem is the federal government had no power to make states do anything. The constitution gave congress explicit powers and ways to enforce them.

If you want a lot more info on the Founders and our history you should look at a book called We the People. It sounds boring, but it has Cartoons in it, too! I read it and know all about the Constitution now. I'm 11 years old!

∙ 12y agoThe main difference between the two was the fact that it switched the power from the states to the federal government which we now have today. Under the Articles each individual state could print its own money making it difficult to trade across state lines. Also under the Articles the government could not tax so we were broke. The constitution fixed all of that and more.

The constitution; however, is a lot more detailed and takes care of a lot more things than the Articles.
