What document preceded the constitution?
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.
Before the adoption of the constitution what were the states joined by?
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! :)

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