The Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation, which was the first governing document of the United States. The Articles established a weak central government that struggled to address various national issues, such as taxation and interstate commerce. The Constitution aimed to create a stronger federal government with a system of checks and balances, better suited to manage the needs of the growing nation. It was ratified in 1788 and took effect in 1789.
