Answer by Monika K
It couldn’t tax or enforce laws. Therefore, it didn’t have much power over the states. The states could make up their own laws, but didn’t have to include important things like hospitals, fire department, or rodes. The Constitution was made so the national government could have more power, and to give the states less power. The Constitution enforced laws so security-like things had to be present. This way, the US could act more like a country.
