Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation were the first constitution of the United States, adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777 and in force from 1781 to 1789. They created a loose league of sovereign states with a single-chamber Congress that could not levy taxes or regulate trade, weaknesses that led to the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
