The Articles of Confederation, ratified in 1781, served as the first constitution of the United States, establishing a weak central government with limited powers. It created a confederation of sovereign states that retained most of their independence, which led to issues such as inability to levy taxes or regulate commerce effectively. The lack of a strong federal authority resulted in economic difficulties and political instability, ultimately prompting the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where the Articles were replaced by the U.S. Constitution.
