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.
Before the United States Constitution, the Articles of Confederation were used to govern the United States. Their greatest weakness is that, under them, the Federal Government had no power. It could make laws and decisions, but it had no way to ensure that they were enforced.
The answer is the Articles of confederation. But, the person who just gave their answer, probably would get a headache just thinking about it while they're sitting in their trailer eating porkrinds because they don't care about academics, and clearly, their life is going nowhere! :)
With the adopting of the Constitution in 1787 that did away with the Articles of Confederation, which, as the name would suggest, was a loose union of states.
Before the Constitution was established in 1787, the United States operated under the Articles of Confederation, which were in effect from 1781 to 1789. The Articles of Confederation created a loose confederation of sovereign states with a weak central government. Under this system, the federal government lacked the power to tax, regulate trade, or enforce laws effectively, leading to various issues and challenges. The limitations of the Articles of Confederation ultimately led to the Constitutional Convention and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
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.
Well the Articles of Confederation was the original constitution so it would probably be 1777.

That would be the government as it existed under the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation had many weaknesses, most of which were addressed in the later US Constitution.
The individual, independent colonies/states would continue as a loose confederation under the Articles of Confederation.
The Articles of Confederation contained 13 articles. The Articles of Confederation were created on November 15, 1777, and ratified on March 1, 1781. The document would eventually be replaced with the U. S. Constitution.
The first Constitution of the Unites States was the Articles Of Confederation.I'm assuming that you mean the first U.S. Constitution. In that case the answer would be The Articles of Confederation.

The Constitution was originally intended to amend the Articles of Confederation and the framers decided to replace it. It would be considered illegal because the Articles required all of the states to ratify amendments and the Constitution only required nine of 13.
