Where were the Articles of Confederation made?

After a year of debate the Second Continental Congress approved the last draft of the articles for ratification by the States on November 15, 1777 in York, Pennsylvania.


What were the delays in ratification for the Articles of Confederation?

Aside from the Revolutionary War being underway, the problem with the Articles was that they required unanimousratification, i.e. by all thirteen states. This was not accomplished until 1781.Most of the states did not agree with it unless they benefited from it, and they did not care how it affected the other states. Maryland especially wanted Virginia and New York to drop their claims to the Ohio Valley.


Is while it took 13 states to ratify the articles of confederation only 9 were necessary to ratify the Constitution true or false?

True. The Articles of Confederation required the approval of all 13 states for ratification, while the U.S. Constitution only required the consent of nine states to become effective. This difference allowed for a more streamlined process in adopting the Constitution compared to the Articles of Confederation.

The primary reason, from my perspective, that the Articles were not successful was the fact that not all of the states would agree to the wording and terms that were proposed.


How many of the states had to approve the Articles of Confederation?
