Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the key differences between the Articles of Confederation (weak central govt, strong states) and the Constitution (stronger central govt, defined powers).

• Articles of Confederation:
• Relied on states for funding (voluntary contributions).
• Gave states power over money (print/coin).
• Limited Congress (no trade regulation).
• Constitution:
• Forbids states from money production (central control).
• National laws supreme over state.
• Congress can tax imports and regulate trade.
