The short answer would be approximately 1776-1789 or 1777-1789, depending on how you choose to view it.
The Articles were drafted in 1776 and approved by the Continental Congress in 1777 but ratification by all the states was not complete until 1781 - 2 years before the end of the Revolutionary War. Although drafted in 1776, it really didn't start serving as the constitution until it was approved in 1777 and although not yet ratified, was the defacto constitution starting in that year.They continued to serve as the constitution of the USA until they were superseded by what we now know as THE US Constitution. The Constitution was approved by the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787. The first ratification by a state was December 7, 1787 by Delaware. The last state to ratify was Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. Elections were held according to the new Constitution but done under the supervision of the government established by the Articles. The new government began operating as such March 4, 1789. On that day the Articles ceased to be the constitution.
