Answer:

The Articles of Confederation (1781)

The first constitution made by 13 colonies that gave way to the Constitution of the United States (1789) later on

Pros/positives of it:

-First major attempt to bring the colonies together

-Encouraged trade

-Traveling was easier

Cons/negatives of it:

-Didn't give the government the ability to tax and the government really needed money

-Restricted ability to act in emergencies

-Gave too much independence to the states

Step-by-step explanation:

(I assumed that you were asking like pros and cons of the articles of confederation, I hope this was a help)
