The Articles of Confederation did not create a judicial branch but did establish an executive branch with a president and connected executive departments. There was also a national judiciary consisting of a Supreme Court.

The Articles of Confederation did not create a judicial branch. However, it did establish a separate executive branch. This executive branch consisted of a president and connected executive departments. The president would be elected indirectly by electors, who themselves were elected by the state legislatures. There was also a national judiciary consisting of a Supreme Court, whose justices would be appointed by the president and would serve life terms.
