Under the Articles of Confederation the American colonists fought and defeated Great Britain and gained independence. By the end of the "Confederation era," Congers had created a bureaucracy to administer the day-to-day affairs of the government. The issue over the western lands was solved under the Articles. The large states holding vast amounts of western land ceded the land to the government under the Articles so that all the states could share in the wealth of those lands. The Northwest Ordinances were passed that provided for the creation of equal, self governing states in the Northwest Territories and the newly created states would have the same rights and privileges as the original 13 states. Congress also provided for a survey of the western lands to prepare the land for sale to all. Under the Articles, the states were held together until a new government under the Constitution was created. The new nation began to emerge as one respecting the ideas that had caused the Revolutionary War in the first place.

Why was the constitutional convection necessary?

The Constitutional Convention was necessary to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, which created a weak federal government unable to effectively manage issues such as interstate commerce, taxation, and national defense. Delegates recognized the need for a stronger central government to ensure stability and unity among the states. Additionally, the convention aimed to create a framework that balanced power between state and federal authorities while protecting individual rights. Ultimately, it resulted in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, establishing a more effective and lasting governmental structure.
