The Articles of Confederation were drafted during the Second Continental Congress, which convened in 1775 amid the American Revolutionary War. A committee led by John Dickinson produced the initial draft in 1776, emphasizing a loose confederation of sovereign states. The document was debated and revised before being ratified by all thirteen states in 1781. The Articles established a weak central government, reflecting the colonies' desire for independence and fear of tyranny, ultimately leading to their replacement by the U.S. Constitution in 1789.
