The United States of America was formed during the Second Continental Congress, and this body drafted the Articles of Confederation in 1777 and was in charge during the Revolutionary War.

The Articles of Confederation proved unworkable in practice, so the Congress convened a new committee with representatives of all the states to revise it. Instead, the committee wrote the Constitution, which created a vastly more powerful Federal government.
