The Articles of Confederation, adopted in 1781, were the first constitution of the United States, establishing a decentralized government that prioritized state sovereignty. However, the weaknesses of the Articles, such as the lack of federal authority to tax or regulate commerce, led to significant challenges in governance and economic stability. This ultimately prompted the Constitutional Convention of 1787, resulting in the creation of a stronger federal government under the U.S. Constitution. The Articles thus highlight the difficulties of balancing state and federal powers in a newly formed nation.
