While the Articles of Confederation created a weak central government, without the power to enforce the laws, tax the people, or regulate trade between states, and lacked an executive branch, it did accomplish some things during its existence. It held the colonies together while we won the Revolutionary War. By the end of the "Confederation era," Congress had created a bureaucracy to administer the day-to-day affairs of the government. The issue over the western lands was solved under the Articles. The large states holding vast amounts of western land ceded the land to the government under the Articles so that all the states could share in the wealth of those lands. The Northwest Ordinances were passed that provided for the creation of equal, self governing states in the Northwest Territories and the newly created states would have the same rights and privileges as the original 13 states. Congress also provided for a survey of the western lands to prepare the land for sale to all.

Under the Articles, the states were held together until a new government under the Constitution was created.
