after a quick revisit, i think the government should have to petition the states for funds, and possess no taxing authority, but the constitution, minus the 16th amendment is no shabby set of provisions either.

The Articles didn't have a BoR, IIRC. For that reason alone, I'd go Constitution though the Articles left a lot more sovereignty to the states....IMO, a good thing.
