The Articles of Confederation the United States' first
national constitution.



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, 1777. 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.

The Articles of Confederation was unanimously adopted in 1781. Over the previous four years, it had been used by Congress as a "working document" to administer the early United States government, win the Revolutionary War and secure the Treaty of Paris (1783) with Great Britain.
