The difference between the Articles of Confederation and Constitution is that the Articles of Confederation are the rules that were agreed by the United States of America in the 18th century whereas the constitution is the rules that democratic countries and other legalized institutions develop to implement law and order in their body.

The Constitution created a government that's stronger than the one created by the Articles of Confederation.

The Articles of Confederation was a document that set up the first government of the United States. This government was too weak. It did not have power to collect taxes, regulate trade, or even draft soldiers into an army. ... The Constitution allowed for the regulation of trade whereby the A of C did not allow for this.
