The Articles of Confederation failed as our first constitution because it didn't establish a good government that which is what the country needed after the revolutionary war. There should have been some type of government in order to keep from anarchy happening and rebellion. That is one area were it failed and a thing called Shay's Rebellion happened and it was because they didn't like the way the government was at the time.
The goal of the founding fathers during the constitutional convention was to build a better government and make it so there would be a leader. There were a few problems though because if they had a leader there would be a possibility that they would get greedy. But there was a man who came up with an idea to help stop that from happening. The idea was that there would be three branches of government Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. They would have the power to veto each other if they didn't think that something was a good idea.
