The first governing framework for the United States was the Articles of Confederation, ratified in 1781. This document established a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, which struggled to manage economic issues and maintain order. The limitations of the Articles led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, resulting in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, which created a stronger federal government.
