The correct answer is: The Constitution provided a more centralized government.

This change was intended to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, which created a very decentralized government that struggled to maintain order and effectively govern the nation. The Constitution established a stronger federal government with greater powers, allowing for better regulation of commerce, taxation, and national defense.
