Answer 1

The one reason that the Constitutional Convention decided they needed a document to replace the Articles of Confederation, because the articles outlined an outdated tax system.

Option A

Explanation:

The Article of Confederation was replaced because it had many loophole and weaknesses which majorly exploited the Constitution while giving power to the state; more power than the federal government. The Article of Confederation was replaced in 1789 because there was a need for a strong Federal government.

The article was meant to preserve the sovereignty and independence of states. However, during the ratification, it was established that nothing had changed politically since enforcing the Article and even after ratification, things remained the same. It was replaced to strengthen the national government.
