What document was governing the United states before and during the writing of the constitution?
Before and during the writing of the U.S. Constitution, the governing document was the Articles of Confederation. Ratified in 1781, the Articles established a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, which proved insufficient for addressing various national issues. This inadequacy prompted the Constitutional Convention in 1787, leading to the drafting of the Constitution to create a stronger federal system.
