The correct answer is:

  1. The Constitution provided a more centralized government.

The Articles of Confederation established a weak central government, which led to various issues, including difficulty in raising revenue and enforcing laws. The Constitution aimed to create a stronger federal government with more centralized authority to address these weaknesses.
