Many weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation were corrected with the adoption of the Constitution as the supreme law of the land in 1787. Which of these statements is true regarding the difference?

One key difference between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution is the establishment of a stronger central government under the Constitution, which provided the federal government with the power to tax, regulate commerce, and maintain a standing army. Additionally, the Constitution created a system of checks and balances among the three branches of government, ensuring no single branch would become too powerful. In contrast, the Articles of Confederation allowed for a loose confederation of states with limited federal authority, ultimately leading to inefficiencies and challenges in governance.
