1. The government could not make laws under the Articles but would be able to under the Constitution.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation mandated the passage of constitutional law to entail the consent of at least nine of the thirteen states, and the adoption of an amendment mandated unanimous approval. This has made lawmaking difficult. this reflects the ineffectiveness of the government to make laws because more power was vested in state governments. Furthermore, each State has been granted the right to decide whether or not they wish to follow certain laws. On the other hand, federal government became more strong under the new constitution.
