No - they are NOT the same document.
The "Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union" served as the first constitution of the USA. They were A constitution but not THE CONSTITUTION. The Articles were drafted between 1776-77 and became the working constitution during the Revolutionary war and served as the charter for the new nation for several years thereafter, although ratification was not completed until 1781. It soon became evident that the powers granted to the central government were still too weak to effectively conduct business with other nations on behalf of the new nation, nor did the government have adequate means to resolve disputes between different states.
As a result, representatives of the extant states gathered to start discussing revisions to the Articles - and eventually concluded that a whole new document was needed. The Constitutional Convention was convened in Philadelphia in 1787 and hammered out the details and compromises necessary and the new Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787 and sent to the various states for ratification. Upon ratification and the formation of the new government under the terms of the Constitution, the Articles of Confederation became null and void.

What document is an article?
The Articles of Confederation were written before the Constitution was written, they contained very little that is still used today. The constitution however is a more modern version that is still practiced and even though over the years it has gained twenty-two amendments only ten or twelve of them are real amendments there are several that canceled each other out. The problem with the Articles of confederation is the way people were represented and everyone was 50/50 about almost everything in the Articles. Half of the people thought half of the laws were wrong and the same with the other half. In newspapers, articles are the pieces of journalism that report the events of the day or the author's opinions. In the English language, article refers to the words "a," "an," and "the." "The" is the definite article, because it denotes a specific thing, and "a" and "an" are called indefinite articles because they do not denote specific things.
