The Articles of Confederation was the early U.S. Constitution (1781 - 89) under the government by the Continental Congress, replaced in 1787 by the United States Constitution. It provided for a confederation of sovereign states and gave the Congress power to regulate foreign affairs, war, and the postal service, to control Indian affairs, and to borrow money.
