The Articles of Confederation was replaced with the Constitution because the Articles of Confederation did not give strong power to the federal government.

Further Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was America's first constitution after becoming free from Great Britain's rule. Considering that the Americans broke away from Great Britain due to a corrupt and too powerful central government, they wanted to create a new constitution that gave the central (aka federal) government very little power. This is why state governments had almost all over the power under the Articles of Confederation.

Underneath this constitution, the federal government did not have the right to tax, needed all 13 delegates to approve a change to the Articles of Confederation, and struggled to raise an army. This is why the Articles of Confederation were only in place for about 8 years before being replaced with the current US Constitution.
