The United State's first government, The Articles of Confederation, obviously did not take off. Many think that this was a problem of mis-communication, and un-unity. The newfound nation, won the war, however they still operated on the basis of colonies and did not unite together as a whole. When the Articles were established, they were not able to follow it effectively. The nation did not have much money either. They could not mint coins and distribute them, so they implemented the concept of paper money. The colonists did not understand how a mere piece of paper could hold any value. Also, different colonies had different currencies so they could not communicate effectively. Overall, the Articles of Confederation was not a succes, but the Constitution (later ratified in 1791) did work.
