50 ! pl ! compare and contrast the articles of confederation with the u. s. constitution, showing the strengths and weaknesses of each. as one of the creators of the new constitution of 1788, you are chosen to present its strengths as compared to the weaknesses of the articles of confederation. what areas of importance will you stress in attempting to get it passed unanimously? give good well-reasoned arguments in a report of approximately 400 words (you don't have to do 400 words just a decent amount) . you will need to research the details of each document, using resources from the library, the internet, or other sources. be sure to use proper spelling and grammar.

The simple difference between the Articles of Confederation and US Constitution is that the articles were not strong enough to hold our young nation together. The articles operated the US as separate states. Under the articles, it was very difficult to pass laws, because they required 9 out of the 13 states' approval, for ratification. Even so, there was no law enforcement, so the states that did not agree with the laws did not follow them. People could get away with breaking the laws, because it was very hard to convict them. After about 13 years or so, our founding fathers realized that the articles were too ineffective and needed to be revised. They drafted the US Constitution, which had similar values, but set up a 3-branch system of government, acting as a federal government. 

PS: The Bill of Rights are the first 10 ammendments to the US Constitution and are often quoted, because they give us our civil liberties. 

Hope this helped :)
