The Constitution is a strong Federal Government. The Senate has 2 reps and the House of Representatives is based on the population of the state.

The Articles of Confederation united the individual states. It had one house of delegates and each state had one vote. This only lasted a year.  

*Bill of Rights

*Congress has the power to

tax

*3 branches of government 

(Legislative, Judicial, and

Execuative)

*Common currency 

*Government 

declares war

*Government 

conducts foreign

affairs 

*Government

*Congress has

the power to

make laws

*Each State has 1 vote

*9/13 votes needed 

*Can not tax

*Articles can only be amended

with unanimous vote 

In the Consitution each state is allowed votes based on their population. This is a more effective system because it is based on how many people you have. This made it better for the bigger states because they had an equal say in things with the smaller states. of course the smaller states arent a big fan of this system because they no longer have as much power. 

In The Articles of Confederation  each state was allowed 1 vote. This made it nice for the smaller states because they had an actual say in what was going on in the country. The bigger states didnt like this because they had more people therefor less of a say. 

In the Articles of confederation the power is in Congress and the states. Congress has the power to do almost anything. One thing they cant do is tax thepeople. Only the states can tax. In the Articles of confederation the states were afraide to have a president because of the power he would be givin. Therefore all the power was either from the people or congress. 

The constitution has 3 branches f goventment. The first branch is the Legislative brach. They are incharge of making laws. In this branch is Congress, Senate, and The House of Representatives. The second branch is the Execuative branch. This branch carries out the laws it consists of the presedent, the vise presedent, and the cabinet. The final branch of government is the Judicial branch. This branch is the one that evaluates the laws it consists of supreme court and other Federal Courts.

The Constitution ends up being a better system for many reasons. One important reason is the 3 branches of government. This helps the power be ballenced so there wont be a chance of once branch having too much power. Another reason it is better is because of the voting systems. Now that the votes are regulated by population smaller states wont have more say than the larger states. The third and final reason the constitution is a better system is the it didnt give the states all the power. One of the biggest weeknesses in the Articles of Confederation was the fact that the states had all the power. All in all the Constitution is a more organized efficiant way to run our country.
