The correct answer is They wanted a stronger central government and a chief executive with powers.

The Articles of Confederation aime to keep the states free and independent, so the states would be joined by friendship and not by the strong central government.

Many leaders wanted to replace the Articles of Confederation because the structure of the articles limited the power of the federal government, so they were unable to solve the problems effectively.
