The united states constitiution basicly took some power back away from the states. When the AOC was written the colonists were very fearful of becoming what they had saught to remove themselves from; a monarchy. To do so they created a very powerful state system, taking away from the federal government. The constitution undid this, giving the fed's the power to tax its citizens and deal with national defense. The only real lasting acheviment of the AOC was the Northwest ordinance, which held up as the sole way of annexing and affirming statehood of new territories.

By allowing the central government to set taxes, and to regulate trade. Those are just a few answers.
The articles of confederation had a weak central government. The united staes were not so united under it.

the articles weren't corrected they were completely discarded and the constitution was installed in its place..... other than that .... the constitution gave more power to a central government but maintained sovereignty ..... it also divided the power into the three houses so no one house was all powerful.

One of this weakeness that the articel had, was that it favoride the rights of the states over the rights of the ferderal governemr. this limited the power of the federal governemt, making it almost ineffective,
