what are some examples of the greater power the Constitution gave to the government that the Articles did not?

Question

The Articles of Confederation was the revolutionary-era attempt at creating a national government. The Confederation Congress was designed to be fairly powerless because why have a revolution against tyrannical central government (and the patriots beleived that all-powerful governments were naturally tyrannical) and then turn around and create exactly that.

The Confederation Congress was criticized for not being powerful enough to guide the nation and thus the Constitution was designed to fix the supposed "problems" of the Confederation by making the government more powerful.

Answer 1

States rights!
