The Articles of Confederation were the first constitution of the United States, ratified in 1781. They established a weak federal government with limited powers, primarily focusing on the coordination of the states during and after the Revolutionary War. The Articles created a unicameral legislature but lacked provisions for a strong executive or judicial branch, leading to significant challenges in governance. This ultimately prompted the drafting of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 to create a more robust federal system.
