The Articles of Confederation is Superior to the U.S. Constitution. Do you agree or not?

Please explain your answer thoroughly.

Articles of Confederation.

USC

Been there, tried it and it did not work.
The idea behind the UNITED States of America is to build one nation, with one currency, one language, yes one language, one military.
Anyone that reads American history knows this.
Anyone that says our present system is inferior is simply wrong because first of all you can't show a superior system

Yes, there is always a tension between centralized power and a more decentralized government, but our present system was determined at the end of the Civil War when the UNITED States beat the Confederates.
We are the most powerful nation on earth, so let's not be running down the current system.
Yes, it has it's problems, to worst being that people have found out they can better their standard of living with less effort by sucking on the federal tit.
We have too many people that believe government is here to make their life better. That is a trend that will change as more and more the government failes to do much of anything for its citzens except to tax them more and more.
Still, with all it's warts and blemishes it's the greatest government ever devised and will continue to be for at least this century.
