The US probably would have broken up over either debt or internal friction, and have become a series of regional countries.

What was the first form of government in America?

As the United States, our first government was established at the end of the revolution via a document called the Articles of Confederation; but it didn't work too well, so the US Constitution was adopted in its place. However, if you mean the first form of government anywhere in America, you might have to go with Patriarchy in some cases, general tribalism in others. Even before the Articles of Confederation there were governments here representing European nations as well. It just depends on time period and what part of the Americas you are talking about.

How did the Constitution solve problems created by the Articles of Confederation?

The Constitution was designed to solve the major weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. One of the most serious problems was the lack of federal power. The Executive Branch, missing in the Articles, was created to enforce federal laws in the country. The government under the Constitution also had the power to tax. Under the Articles, only state governments could tax due to fears of monarchy and tyranny that might result if the federal government was allowed to tax. However, the federal government had to depend on the states for revenue, which the states did not always give. This was a serious problem because the US had $27 million in war debts. The first sign that the new Constitution was better than the old Articles of Confederation was the Whiskey Rebellion, in which the new government aptly showed its ability to enforce its laws.

How did the US Constitution overcome the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and provide for the organization of the new government?

The Articles of Confederation had several weaknesses. As a result, a new plan of government, the Constitution, was written to clear up the weaknesses. Under the Articles of Confederation, there were many things the federal government couldn't do. It couldn't tax, make trade treaties, resolve disputes between states, keep order, and pay its debts. To help solve these issues, the writers of the Constitution created a federal government with three branches. Each branch had distinct powers to carry out its responsibilities. Additionally, the government had the ability to create an army. This army could be used to keep order at home as well as fight wars with other countries if needed. The Articles of Confederation can't be criticized for being a weak government because it was set up to be a weak government. However, the Constitution was much better, in part because the writers of the Constitution learned from the past mistakes that were made. They also included an amendment process to correct future problems that might arise. The Constitution was written, in part, to correct the mistakes and resolve the issues that existed in the Articles of Confederation.

Was there a president under the U.S. first constitution?

Well, the Articles of Confederation allotted for one, but he would have been useless because the Articles gave him no power at all. So the nation was being run by the delegates in the Confederation Congress, who were always switching in and out and around. So the closest thing to a president might have been the president of the Congress, but there really wasn't one.
