The document that would replace the Articles of Confederation was the Constitution. At the time of the creation of the Articles, it was fine, but it would no longer suit the needs of the people. There were limitations that the Articles had that made tasks more complicated because of the vagueness and the way in which these rules were set up. Congress had many problems due to the Articles of Confederation. They had no power to enact tariff taxes, nor did they have the ability to enforce laws; they also had no ability to regulate any sort of trade. Finally, they required a 23 majority vote of the states to pass laws. The limitations put upon the system of government needed to be lifted for the country to continue to run smoothly and be able to improve and build upon itself.

The Constitution was needed to take the place of the Articles of Confederation to keep up with the changing needs of this rapidly developing country. It was logical at the time for laws to be written the way they were being written, since the British forces had been limiting the power of the American colonist. The reason this document was written was to give back control to the colonists and return what should have rightfully been theirs in first place. The British soldiers had gone to Lexington and Concord to confiscate people As weapons, and due to this act, it would seem obvious that the colonists would allow for everyone to have the right to bear arms. The major point was that they wanted freedom of speech and the ability to speak their mind without being thrown into jail or killed. This would become the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.
