Answer: The Constitution improved greatly on the Articles of Confederation by creating an appropriately strong federal government, with provisions for protections of freedom.
Improved strengths of the federal government:
1. Creation of an executive branch of federal government, where the Articles just had a legislature.
2. Creation of a federal court system, with a Supreme Court that has final say (Articles of Confederation only allowed state courts)
3. Congress was divided into two bodies to allow for representation for both small and large states. Congress was granted powers to regulate interstate commerce, levy taxes, and print money.
Protections of freedom:
The Constitution includes the Bill of Rights. This outlines individual rights, and also reserves some rights to the states, so it protects from a tyrannical federal government.

(Reasoning that might help you) There are usually only two major parties that have the most power in United States politics ,even though those parties have changed over time .Third party candidates ,how ever are still are still able to influence elections.A third party can gain votes from people who would have other wise voted for one of the major parties, and enough of these votes can cause the major party to lose .One of the most famous times this occurred was in the 1912 presidential election,When Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose party signed voters who would have supported the Republican William Taft . The Republican votes was split between Roosevelt Taft,so the democrat Woodrow Wilson won the election.
There are too many citizens for each of their interests, ideas and opinions to be heard and taken into account one by one. a representative can take the majority vote of the people and refer it back to the higher power.
