The first national government under the Articles of Confederation was organized as a confederation of sovereign states, with a unicameral legislature known as the Confederation Congress. Each state had one vote in the Congress, regardless of its population or size. The Congress was responsible for conducting foreign affairs, declaring war, and maintaining an army and navy. It also had the power to settle disputes between states.
