The framers abandoned the articles of confederation in favor of an entirely new constitution. Do you agree with their decision? Why or why not?

Yes, I agree with their decision because under the articles of Confederation, the central government had virtually no power. They couldn't enforce federal laws on the states. They couldn't tax and each state could issue it's own money. It would have wreaked havoc on the economy and it would not have lead to effective government. The articles were just fundamentally flawed.
