How did the Constitution solve problems created by the Articles of Confederation?
The Constitution was designed to solve the major weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. One of the most serious problems was the lack of federal power. The Executive Branch, missing in the Articles, was created to enforce Federal Laws in the country. The government under the Constitution also had the power to tax. Under the Articles, only state governments could tax due to fears of monarchy and tyranny that might result if the federal government was allowed to tax. However, the federal government had to depend on the states for revenue, which the states did not always give. This was a serious problem because the US had $27 million in war debts. The first sign that the new Constitution was better than the old Articles of Confederation was the Whiskey Rebellion, in which the new government aptly showed its ability to enforce its laws.
