6. Why were the Articles of Configuration replaced?

The need for a stronger Federal government soon became apparent and eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The present United States Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation on March 4, 1789

The Articles of Confederation were causing the national government to grow weak and this didn't let them enforce the law and led to a loss of power. It basically crippled the governemnt with no regulation of trade, no uniform system of currency, and no power of taxation.
