The Articles of Confederation (1777- 1787) served as the first written document that established the functions of the national government of the United States after it declared independence from Great Britain. It established a weak central government that mostly, but not entirely, prevented the individual states from conducting their own foreign diplomacy and coining currency. The weak central leadership built into the document caused economic confusion, legislative paralysis, and finally, in 1787, the Constitution of the United States was written and adopted.
