- Articles of Confederation
The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation on November 15, 1777, and all thirteen states ratified them by March 1, 1781. These Articles created a federation of sovereign states with a weak central government, leaving most powers with the state governments. In 1787, after the need for a stronger Federal government became apparent, the Constitutional Convention was convened; the United States Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation on March 4, 1789.
