D. The Constitution gave more power to the federal government than the Articles of Confederation did.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation, the first U.S.'s Constitution, established a weak federal government, with no separation of powers (It consisted of a Congress only) and with very few powers that did not even include the power to tax states or to tax soldiers. The new U.S. Constitution aimed to address this weakness by giving more power to the federal government. Under this constitution, the power was divided into three different branches with specific duties and enough enforcement powers to lead the nation, such as the power to tax, to make laws, to draft soldiers, to evaluate laws, and others. These branches are the judicial, the legislative and the executive.
