You are wrong, friend. The purpose of this new Constitution is not to dis-empower the people, but to keep those who are uninformed and misguided from subjecting everyone to their tyranny. Under the Constitution, one is still able to speak to their congressman. Under the Constitution, the president is not a king, he is simply a part of the executive branch and is subject to the checks and balances of the legislature and judiciary. Under the Constitution, this nation can stay united and stable despite disagreement between states. Under the Articles, we experienced chaos and rebellion, this Constitution will impose the rule of law more heavily to ensure we remain union. Your arguments and concerns are poorly conceived and easily disputed.

Under the Articles, chaos ensued: states coining their own money and imposing tariffs on others paralyzed trade, inter-state conflicts and disputes were hardly resolved, and states not being able to compromise made governmental processes hard. Too much democracy! Shifting the aforementioned responsibilities to a strong federal government will provide a solution to these problems and make the union more cohesive.
