When compared to the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution as written in 1787 represented a change over time with regard to the consolidation of federal power.

The Articles of Confederation is unofficially the first Constitution of the United States which was drafted after an agreement with the 13 states.

Some characteristics of the Articles of Confederation include:

Loose confederation of states
Weak federal government
Stronger state government

The Constitution is a legal document that is recognized as the official principles which govern a country. It is irrefutable.

Therefore, with the Constitution, some power returned to the federal government.
