The first plan for government in the United States, the Articles of Confederation, established a weak central government without an executive branch. Ratified in 1781, the Articles emphasized state sovereignty and granted limited powers to the national government, primarily focusing on legislative authority. This lack of an executive branch led to difficulties in enforcing laws and managing national issues, ultimately prompting the need for a stronger federal government under the Constitution in 1787.

The New Jersey Plan
The Virginia Plan, proposed by James Madison at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, called for a plural executive in the executive branch of government. This plan suggested that the executive be composed of multiple individuals rather than a single president, allowing for a more collective leadership approach. However, this idea was ultimately rejected in favor of a singular executive, leading to the establishment of the presidency as we know it today.
