The US would not have survived under the Articles of Confederation. They didn't give the Federal government enough authority to govern a sovereign country. The UK and possibly other nations would have eventually recolonized the States, one by one.

What were the laws of America before the Constitution was made?

Before the Constitution was adopted, the United States of America operated under a weaker structure laid out in the Articles of Confederation. The articles of Confederation described how the several states would interact with each other and with a weak Confederation government. The replacement of the Articles of Confederation by the Constitution did not by and large effect the status of state laws. Each State had its own laws and these continued in force until modified by the various State legislatures.


Many weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation were corrected with the adoption of the Constitution as the supreme law of the land in 1787. Which of these statements is true regarding the difference?

One key difference between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution is the establishment of a stronger central government under the Constitution, which provided the federal government with the power to tax, regulate commerce, and maintain a standing army. Additionally, the Constitution created a system of checks and balances among the three branches of government, ensuring no single branch would become too powerful. In contrast, the Articles of Confederation allowed for a loose confederation of states with limited federal authority, ultimately leading to inefficiencies and challenges in governance.
