The first central government of the United States was established under the Articles of Confederation, which was ratified in 1781. This arrangement created a loose confederation of the thirteen states, with a weak central authority that lacked the power to levy taxes or regulate commerce effectively. The limitations of the Articles led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, resulting in the creation of the current U.S. Constitution and a stronger federal government.
