Urgent Message from the Constitutional Convention!
We need your help. State leaders are demanding to know why we are starting over instead of fixing the Articles of Confederation. They say we must have a good reason, or we will be replaced!

Your input will help us explain to them why this is important. In your opinion, what are the three greatest weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation? Explain how each of the weaknesses you chose requires us to write a new Constitution.

In addition, we have the Preamble to our new Constitution ready. Please review the Preamble so you can help the state leaders understand its purpose. Why is the Preamble important? Please describe at least two reasons why it is important to our new government.
