They were an early attempt by the Founding Fathers at a new governmental system for the country. They lasted until around the late 1780s. The biggest flaw in them was that every state was practically an individual country...completely different from it's neighbors in some respects. Each state could print it's own money was one huge flaw. There was no Federal government as such; each state was pretty much absolute in its own borders. Eventually the Articles just collapsed in on theirselves.
