"Although contemptuous of the weakness of the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton supported it with all his energies, as it was incomparably stronger to the old government." This section of the textbook talks about the ratifying of the Constitution and Hamilton's great effort toward that goal.

I should probably remember US history from eighth grade, but I don't have much of a clue (I'm thinking it's the Articles of Confederation, though) But to be sure, what "old government" is my textbook referring to?
