The Articles of Confederation served as a written document that established the functions of the national government of the US after the independence of Great Britain. They established a weak central government with strong individual states.

The Articles were ratified by all thirteen states in March 1st of 1781.

Despite the fact that the central government was weak under the Articles of Confederation, the central government would have a task of declaring war, appoint military officers, sign treaties, make alliances, appoint foreign ambassadors and manage relations with Indians.

The Continental Congress of 1777 most important job was to adopt the Articles of Confederation that was the first constitution of the US. It was on November 15th of 1777 but it wasn’t only until 1781 that all states ratified the Articles.

Each state had one vote - an equal vote regardless of the size of the state-. This was to provide unity since the beginning.

All the thirteen states needed to approve the articles for it to be enacted. The Congress debated the Articles for over a year and a half and the ratification process took almost three years.

The Central government was prohibited to impose taxes, the Articles only allowed state governments to levy taxes. This was the main problem because the central government had no income and had to request money from the states that mostly did not give it and, because of that the government was underfunded. This caused another big problem, the Central government did not have money to pay debts from the Revolution and this caused problems with foreign affairs.
