Answer:

Articles of Confederation

Step-by-step explanation:

Articles of Confederation. Written by the 2nd Continental Congress in the U.S.A during 1777, this document established the first form of national government for the United States. It also stated that the major powers stayed with the states and established weak central government (no power to tax or enforce laws).
