The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States. Although it was adopted by the Continental Congress on November 15, 1777, it was not ratified by all the states until March 1, 1781. The Articles allowed for sovereignty of the original 13 states with a weak central government. The Articles of Confederation was replaced by the current Constitution on March 4, 1789 due to a need for a stronger central government.
