The Articles of Confederation were the first constitution of the United States, ratified in 1781. They established a confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, which struggled to govern effectively due to limited powers, particularly in taxation and regulation of commerce. The lack of a strong federal authority led to economic difficulties and internal conflicts, ultimately prompting the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where the Articles were replaced by the current U.S. Constitution.
