The first plan of government for the United States, known as the Articles of Confederation, failed primarily due to its lack of a strong central authority. It created a weak national government that struggled to raise revenue, regulate commerce, and enforce laws. Additionally, the requirement for unanimous consent from all states to amend the Articles made it nearly impossible to address these shortcomings. This ultimately led to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where the current U.S. Constitution was drafted.
