The answer is stated below.

Explanation:

The weakness of the Congress soon exposed after the American revolutionary war when the inability of the congress to tax created problems or paying wartime debts. Secondly, Shay's Rebellion raised questions about the power of Congress. These situations created need for a strong central authority and Th Article of Confederation was replaced by the Constitution of the United States.
