Articles of Confederation
was the first constitution of the United States. The Articles were in force from March 1, 1781, to June 21, 1788, when the present Constitution of the United States went into effect. The Articles were written in 1777 during the early part of the American Revolution by a committee of the Second Continental Congress of the former 13 British colonies. The head of the committee, John Dickinson, presented a report on the proposed articles to the Congress on July 12, 1776, eight days after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Dickinson initially proposed a strong central government, with control over the western lands, equal representation for the states and the power to levy taxes.

Because of their experience with Great Britain, the 13 states feared a powerful central government; consequently, they changed Dickinson's proposed articles drastically before they sent them to all the states for.ratification in November 1777. The Continental Congress had been careful to.give the states.as much independence as possible.and to.specify the limited functions of the federal government. Despite these precautions, several years passed before all the states ratified the articles.

The articles created a loose confederation of independent states that gave limited powers to a central government. The national government would consist of a single house of Congress, where each state would have one vote. Congress (the central government) had the power to set up a postal department, to estimate the costs of the government and request donations from the states, to raise armed forces and to control the development of the western territories. With the consent of nine of the thirteen states, Congress could also coin, borrow or appropriate money as well as declare war and enter into treaties and alliances with foreign nations.
