The Articles of Confederation, or Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, formed the constitutional agreement that was made between the 13 states of America in 1776. These states, created as a result of the revolution, needed unity between them and the Articles of Confederation were written to fulfil this need.
The states, still at war with England, were wary of a central government as they thought their individual needs would be ignored and they wanted to protect their independence. The Articles of Confederation bestowed the greatest share of power to the states, allowing them to retain their sovereignty, freedom and independence. The Articles of Confederation also denied Congress the power to enforce laws or collect taxes.
The Articles of Confederation were submitted to Congress on July 12 1776, 8 days after the Declaration of Independence was signed. However, due to disagreements between the states on matters such as equal representation in Congress and control over Western territories, the signing by all the states of the Articles of Confederation was delayed. Approval from the last state, Maryland, in 1781 finally made the Articles of Confederation the ruling document in America.
Although they provided stability during the revolution, the Articles of Confederation worked badly as an instrument of government. Congress could make decisions, but the Articles of Confederation gave them no power to enforce them. The Articles of Confederation also denied Congress governance over taxation. They were only permitted by the Articles of Confederation to request money from the states. When the states failed to conform to the requests, the Confederation was left short on funds to pay congressional debts.
After numerous proposals for revision, The Articles of Confederation were superseded by the US Constitution on May 23rd, 1788.
