Answer:
The articles of confederation was an agreement among the 13 founding states that legally established the United States of America as a confederation of sovereign states and served as its first constitution. It was drafted by the Continental Congress in 1776-77, went into use in 1777 and was formally ratified by all 13 states in 1781. The Articles gave legitimacy to the Continental Congress to direct the American Revolutionary War, conduct diplomacy with Europe, and deal with territorial issues and Indian claims. Nevertheless, the confederation type of national government proved to be too weak, and in 1789 it was replaced with a federal government with the adoption of the U.S. Constitution.
