Answer:

It consisted of Congress alone.

The Articles of Confederation (1781), the first U.S.'s Constitution, was characterized for giving independence and sovereignty to the states at the expenses of a weak central government consisting of a Congress alone, meaning that there was no President, and it lacked the ability to levy taxes, regulate commerce, participate in foreign affairs, among others.
