Type your response in the box. What was the primary purpose of the Articles of Confederation? Why did some states refuse to ratify it? What
convinced all states to finally sign the document? Explain your response in a brief paragraph.

The primary purpose of the Articles of Confederation was to unite the states under a national government. Some states were unhappy because the larger states with western territories could sell them to repay war debts, while the others had to levy taxes. The smaller states argued that all states had equal claim to the western lands because they had all fought the American Revolution. The last three holdout states signed the document after Congress agreed to use the western lands for common benefit by creating new states.
