The Articles of Confederation are not. They were repealed and can be found on the dustbin of history as a failed five year experiment.Radically altered is not the same as outright repeal.As noted in the Preamble, the Constitution was written and enacted to further perfect the Articles of Confederation, not repeal them.
Next ill-informed straw man argument, anyone?
Nice try. The Constitution radically altered the government of the United States. Which is why the Convention in Philadelphia was held behind closed doors with utmost secrecy. Precisely because the participants were sent there to modity the Articles and instead chose to completely toss the Articles and draft an entirely new and different Constitution, which was a violation of the charter they had been tasked with.
Next historically ill-informed Libertarian argument, anyone?
Even though progressives have radically altered the nation with everything from the Federal Reserve to the NDAA, the Constitution is still, albeit terribly usurped, the law of the land.
