Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation had a weak central - government. Its failure led to the creation of a new Constitution in 1787 that established a stronger central government to address the issues of the weak confederation.

The Northwest Ordinance was enacted before the failure of the Articles became a major impetus for a new government structure.
