Answer 2

The correct answer is A) The Articles of the Confederation didn’t work.

The reason listed for creating a new Constitution was that the Articles of the Confederation didn’t work.

The preamble includes the phrase “to form a more perfect Union”. The reason listed for creating a new Constitution was that the Articles of the Confederation didn’t work.
