Detailed explanation-1: -The Articles required unanimous consent to any amendment, so all 13 states would need to agree on a change. Given the rivalries between the states, that rule made the Articles impossible to adapt after the war ended with Britain in 1783. 6.
Detailed explanation-2: -The US constitution is difficult to amend due to its two stage process. The Founding Fathers purposely made amending the constitution a difficult process. For example they incorporated the need to gain a supermajority in both the proposal and ratification stages of amending the constitution.
Detailed explanation-3: -One feature of the Articles of Confederation was that any amendments, or changes, to the Articles required the approval of all 13 states. This made changes to the Articles nearly impossible any single state could prevent a change that the rest of the nation wanted.
Detailed explanation-4: -The national government had no way of implementing or enforcing its legislative decisions. The national government had no judicial branch. There was no effective way to resolve disputes between states, such as competing claims to the same territory.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Framers made it relatively difficult to amend the Constitution because they intended for all ratified amendments to enjoy widespread support.
