The first type of government the United States tried in 1776 was a confederation, established by the Articles of Confederation in 1781. This system emphasized a loose alliance of independent states with a weak central government, as the states retained most of their sovereignty. However, it soon proved ineffective due to issues like lack of taxation power and difficulties in decision-making, leading to its eventual replacement by the U.S. Constitution in 1789.
