Approved on November 15, 1777, by Congress and confirmed by the State on March 1, 1781, the Articles of Confederation were a humble effort by a new country to consolidate itself and create an ideal national government. The Articles were said to constitute a "strong league of friendship" () between the states, meaning that these thirteen states would cooperate and communicate together, but leaving aside a primary form of government; it is therefore a question of giving limited powers to the central government. However, for some states the current form of government was unsatisfactory because the Articles of Confederation would prove too disadvantageous. The Constitution will become America's saving grace. Written in 1787, the Constitution called for a united and more powerful government. There were many differences between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. One of the main differences is how they constitute Parliament. In the AoC, the legislature was established as a unicameral where the states created a national congress. In the other case, the Constitution established a bicameral legislature in which each state in Congress was represented by its population. This change was caused by disagreements between states; different states wanted different ways of selecting representatives. The Articles of Confederation ranked and represented all states equally, so larger states demanded more power in decision-making. Small states could not agree on this request. The most populous states wanted their representation to be based on their population; while less populous states wanted a stable number of representatives (one for each state), regardless of their size or population. The Connecticut Compromise... middle of paper ... could not work as it does today. The Constitution has lasted over two centuries and is constantly destroying government and its function today. The Articles of Confederation and its ideas have been strong and powerful in improving the United States and its government. However, the implementation of his ideas and the improvement of representatives of the federal and state governments were not sufficiently successful. On the other hand, the government provided for by the Constitution was radically different from that provided for by the Articles of Confederation. The economic, political, cultural and social aspects and status of the United States changed under the new type of powerful government, with different types of voting and by the new way of raising taxes. The United States Constitution prevented people from gaining too much power and this was the greatest achievement of the American government..
