Several principles from the Articles of Confederation are retained in the U.S. Constitution, including the concept of federalism, which allows for a division of power between national and state governments. Additionally, the Articles' emphasis on the importance of a legislative body is reflected in the Constitution’s establishment of a bicameral Congress. The principle of representation, though significantly refined, also carries over, ensuring that states have a voice in the federal government. However, the Constitution strengthens the federal government’s authority and ability to tax, which was a limitation under the Articles.
