1) Weak central government and lack of power: Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government had limited power and authority. It did not have the power to enforce laws, collect taxes, regulate commerce, or maintain a standing military. This led to a weak and ineffective government that struggled to address various challenges faced by the nation, such as economic instability and disputes between states.

As a result, this weakness led to the writing of the US Constitution as there was a need to create a stronger central government with the power to govern the nation and address its issues effectively. The framers of the Constitution aimed to establish a stronger federal government that could regulate trade, levy taxes, and maintain order, while also striking a balance with the rights and powers of individual states.

2) Inability to amend the Articles: The Articles of Confederation required unanimous consent from all thirteen states for any amendments to be made. This made the process of amending the Articles extremely difficult, as even a single state could prevent necessary changes. It hindered progress and the ability to adapt to the changing needs of the nation.

This weakness underscored the need for a new constitution that would provide a more accessible and functional amendment process. The framers of the US Constitution recognized the importance of allowing for change and growth in the governance of the nation. As a result, the Constitution introduced a more flexible amendment process, requiring the approval of two-thirds of both houses of Congress and three-fourths of the states. This greater flexibility allowed for future modifications and improvements to the Constitution as the country evolved.

The English Bill of Rights and Common Sense shaped colonists' views of government. The Bill affirmed citizens' rights, inspiring the belief in individual liberties. Common Sense criticized monarchy, promoting the idea of an independent republic. Both influenced colonists towards a desire for self-governance.
