Natinal Government
Before and during the period of the Articles of Confederation, the national legislative body was called the Continental Congress. Initially, it operated as the governing body of the thirteen colonies during the American Revolution, and after independence, it continued as the Congress of the Confederation under the Articles. This Congress had limited powers and operated from 1781 until the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1789.
True. The principal governmental body under the Articles of Confederation was a unicameral Congress, meaning it had a single legislative chamber. This Congress was responsible for making decisions and passing laws, but it had limited powers and lacked the authority to enforce its decisions, leading to challenges in governance.
The first national legislature established by the Articles of Confederation was the Congress of the Confederation. It convened in 1781, following the ratification of the Articles, and served as the governing body of the United States during the Revolutionary War and the early years of independence. However, it had limited powers, with no authority to impose taxes or regulate commerce, leading to challenges in governance. The weaknesses of this legislature ultimately contributed to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.
