Articles of Confederation The Articles of Confederation were a very important part of our government and the first constitution that was made, it was written by the people that passed the Declaration of Independence. There were thirteen colonies in this time period. After America broke loose from Britain the Continental Congress set to work on the task of drawing up a document that would provide a law of new land for America. Congress was made from each of the thirteen states so they could earn money for their new born country. Each state would send one state representative for Congress. Congress was in charge of conducting business with foreign countries such as France. The Articles were written during the early part of the American Revolution by a committee of the Second Continental Congress of the what was the independent thirteen states, so there wasn't a strong central government, and for friendship and cooperation among the colonies. Each of the colonies retained their freedom among each other. Along with the rules the Articles didn't allow the Congress to tax the colonies unless they asked for funds and the funds were accepted. The states were scared to make a strong central government because of how they were treated by Britain The small states wanted equal representation with the large states in Congress, and the large states were afraid they would have to pay an excessive amount of money to support the federal government because of the debts the states were in already do to war. The bad thing about the Articles confederation was that it didn't allow the revenue to tax the states. Some important dates of/about the Articles of Confederation are November 15, 1777. This is when congress agreed to the Articles of Confederation. The Articles were passed and in force on March 1, 1781. The main success of the Articles of Confederation was that they held the thirteen states together.
