Question

the founders realized that the articles was a flawed plan. how did they improve on the plan with the u.s. constitution? what improvements did they make?

Answer 1

The founders set the terms for ratifying the Constitution. They bypassed the state legislatures, reasoning that their members would be reluctant to give up power to a national government. Instead, they called for special ratifying conventions in each state. Ratification by 9 of the 13 states enacted the new government.
