ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION Meaning and Definition

1. The "Articles of Confederation" refer to the original constitution of the United States, ratified in 1781 and in effect until 1789. This document served as the first governing framework for the newly formed American colonies during the Revolutionary War and early years of independence. The Articles of Confederation aimed to establish a weak central government that would primarily handle common defense and foreign affairs, while granting significant power to the individual states.

   Under this system, the national government was made up of a single legislative body, the Continental Congress, which had limited authority on matters such as declaring war, conducting foreign affairs, and establishing a postal service. However, it was deprived of crucial powers necessary for effective governance, such as taxation and regulation of commerce. The states retained most of the authority over their internal affairs, including their own currencies, trade regulations, and maintaining their own militia.

   The Articles of Confederation encountered numerous problems and deficiencies, leading to its eventual replacement by the United States Constitution. These weaknesses included the inability of the central government to enforce its legislation, difficulty in raising funds, lack of a national judiciary, and the absence of a strong executive branch. The flaws in the Articles ultimately led to political and economic instability, prompting the Constitutional Convention in 1787 where a new constitution was drafted to establish a stronger central government, which is still in effect today.
