The feature of the U.S. Constitution that directly addressed a problem of the Articles of Confederation was the establishment of a strong federal government. Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government was weak and had limited powers, which made it difficult for the government to enforce laws and regulate commerce. The Constitution created a stronger federal government with the power to regulate commerce, raise an army and navy, and enforce laws throughout the country. This addressed the problem of the weak federal government under the Articles of Confederation and helped to create a more stable and effective government.
