Answer:

the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was the first written constitution of the United States.

Explanation:

Written in 1777 and stemming from wartime urgency, its progress was slowed by fears of central authority and extensive land claims by states. It was not ratified until March 1, 1781.
