Why were the articles of confederation eventually replaced by the constitution?
(a)the powers of the central government under the articles of confederation were so limited in terms of collecting tax money, passing and enforcing laws, and regulating trade that major changes were necessary.
(b) the articles of confederation did not allow the government of the united states to exist as an independent country, free of british rule and beyond the scope of british laws.
(c)the articles of confederation expressly forbade individual states from writing their own constitutions, establishing their own legislatures, or electing their own governors.
(d)the laws passed by the government under the articles of confederation granted too much power to the central government, which the american people feared because it reminded them of life under british rule.
