Because at the time, it seemed to make the most sense to everyone. Some people agreed and others disagreed on some aspects of it but it appeased the majority of people in each state. Off the top of my head that is what I can come up with at the time. Dude I answered like two of your history questions. Do you need things for a history class by the way?? Go to constituioncenter.org if you need more info on the constitution. Hope that helps!!

The existing system under the Articles of Confederation were not sufficing. There needed to be some central authority so that the safeguards of a confederacy weren't sacrificed by the autonomy of the states in the confederacy.

Each of the states ratified it because it covered the laws generally and allowed for state sovereignty. There is power in numbers and together we could stand, but under the Constitution we could do it as individual states and individual people.

Because the Articles of the Confederation were not working and there remained an interest in a Union with a division of rights and responsibilities between states and central government.

Because it established an elitist dictatorship for the people powerful enough to get it ratified.

Because the Articles of Confederation had failed miserably, and the people needed SOME form of government.
