No, not necessarily. Heres a good answer thatll answer your question full though
Between 1775 and 1781 the Continental Congress led the United States. They had no agreed upon structure set up for making decisions for, or governing the states as a whole. The Articles of Confederation was America's first organized government. The thirteen states did not however become the United States of America as we are know today until later. After the proclaiming independence these articles were drawn up to form a unified front. In this aspect they failed miserably, because of this I would have to disagree with Anyssa.
Thirteen separate states was exactly what England and other European powers wanted them to be. As separate entities they could slowly pull them apart. For example if one takes the spread out snow on the ground and makes a snow man with it, the snowman will last much longer thatn the snow around it. Threw time and working with the different states on an individual basis the European countries would be able to gradually encroach upon the what thirteen states had fought hard to attain, their liberties.
Another problem was the interaction between states. The states present the economic problem with differing currency and independent trade with differing European countries. Do to poor relations between states problems arose socially when states did not except the acts of one another. One problem arouse between slave states and non-slave states as if a slave were to cross into a slave state then technically he was a free slave, but there were men who would commit the illegal act of recapturing and enslaving them. This problem lead to hostility and in some cases rivalries between states. This goes against unity and hence goes against the Declaration of Independence as it constantly uses the word we implying unity.
Having a central government and then tying its hands was the biggest error the Articles of the Confederation. Threw this the Articles of Confederation become no more powerful than a piece of paper with splash of ink on it. As was mentioned by Daiana, when Shay's Rebellion took place nothing could be done as the Articles of Confederation had no power to act quickly. The other problem is that if anyone decided to launch an attack one of the thirteen states the military support would have been pitiful, as the states had there own weak militaries. Rather than have the one strong ready to act military the states had separate militaries that were small and for the protection of there state only.
There was a major crisis under the Articles of Confederation, as the thirteen states were at the mercy of Europe. The Articles of Confederation would not have lasted long at all as it was headed for certain doom. No single ratification of Articles would have fixed the problems with it. A complete rewrite of the governing system of America was required in this case.

Why did the Federalists Nationalists seek to create a new system of Government in 1787?
The Congress never did put its tottering finances on a sound footing, and its fiscal problems ultimately discredited the Articles of Confederation in the eyes of the nationalists, a loose partnership of congressmen, army officers, and public creditors who wanted to strengthen the Confederation at the expense of the states. The nationalists first began to organize in the dark days of 1780 and 1781, when inflation was rampant, the army was going unpaid, the Congress had ceased paying interest on the public debt, and war effort itself seemed in danger of collapsing. Stimulated by the crisis, the nationalists supported the superintendent of finance for the Confederation government. The superintendent sought to enrich national authority through bold program of financial and political reform.
