Differences between the articles of confederation and the constitutution of the United States were many yet they can be summarized as this: The Articles of Confederations did not allow for the centralized fedral governemnt to have a strong base of power in fear of another monoarchy or dictatorship to form, while the constitution empowered and gave many of the most important powers to the national governement.
First of all, the articles of confederation did not give the federal government to levy taxes, a big mistake in my opinion. It allowed only the state govements to levy taxes, creating chaos and also causing trobules for the nation when we needed to pay back forgein debts owed to our allies following the revolution. It also allows for great inflation while we have over seventeen pices of currency being circulated trough out the infant republic, while of course the constitution allows for the governement of the nation to be the only body to levy taxes.
The articles of confederation also sets up a congress set up of two house, both of which have an equal amount of delegates per state, the number being two. Of course, with the creation of the constitution and the Great compromise came the two houses of congress, one following the idea listed above while the second house of congress would have an amount of mebers decided mainly by the amount of the states population.
The Constitution however does set upon itself some checks and balnces not forseen for the articles of confederation to challenge the fear of perhaps one executive taking power of the nation.
