Why did the states keep refusing to adopt the Articles of Confederation? The states intended to elect a new king after they won the war so they figured the king would decide for himself once they chose him

They thought they did not need it. The states had been looking after themselves for years already without one.

The states really wanted to make sure that it was just right. They asked for it to be rewritten with a bill of rights before they signed it

Basically, what it boiled down to is that The Colonies Lacked Unity

The Albany Plan, an earlier, pre-independence attempt at joining the colonies into a larger union, had failed in part because the individual colonies were concerned about losing power to another central institution. As the American Revolution gained momentum, however, many political leaders saw the advantages of a centralized government that could coordinate the Revolutionary War. In June of 1775, the New York provincial Congress sent a plan of union to the Continental Congress, which, like the Albany Plan, continued to recognize the authority of the British Crown.
