The Articles of Confederation (or Articles of Confederation
and Perpetual Union) was made because the United States of America needed a uniting
constitution to unite them for their independence. The thirteen original states
agreed to create this and became the first Continental Congress on November 15,
- The confederation was loose in nature and has a loose weak central
government however; however its successes were on dealing the Western lands
such as the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. That helped pay the Nation’s debts and
launched western lands without so much chaos.
