Approved by Congress in 1777 and sent to the states to 5. Small states without western lands refused to ratify because large states could sell their western lands to make money. When the large states gave up their western lands to the national government, the Articles were put into effect. 6. Structure: 1 branch of government (called ); each state got 1 vote (equal representation) Congress had the power to: print and borrow money, negotiate (make) treaties with foreign countries and Native Americans, resolve conflicts between states, could ask for $$ and soldiers from the states but could not force them to contribute. 7.

7 Articles of Confederation After declaring independence from Great Britain in 1776, the former colonies each wrote their own state constitutions. However, many people believed there was a need for a centralized national government. The Second Continental Congress developed a plan for government that became known as the Articled of Confederation.

8 Powers Strength or Weakness Why it s good or bad Possible Solution (if weakness) Could not collect taxes Can declare war Can make an army/navy but must borrow the soldiers from the states Could establish Post Offices Could admit new states Could not control trade between states Could borrow money 8 /10
9 The Articles of Confederation HW During the Revolutionary War, the United Colonies needed a document to govern the lands then struggling to be free from England s rule. The Article of Confederation became the first national constitution of the United States in March of The Articles of Confederation established a government organized around a Congress. Each of the thirteen states would have only one vote regardless of size or population. For a law to pass, nine of the thirteen states had to agree. The Congress had the power to declare war, make peace, and make treaties. It could also coin and borrow money, create post offices, admit new states, and create an army and navy. On the other hand, the Congress could not tax, and it could not control or interfere with trade between the individual states. There was no one person who was in charge of this new government. Because they feared the return of tyranny, the founding fathers were very cautious not to create a new king that was exactly why they had separated from England. So, as a result, there was no executive to carry out the laws passed by Congress. Ultimately, this lack of a leader caused much confusion. The Articles of Confederation created a loose friendship between the thirteen states. This loose friendship was enough to win the War for Independence and keep the states together as one country. But without an executive, the power to tax, and the ability to regulate trade, the Congress could not function effectively. Many Americans felt the Articles of Confederation needed to be revised. By 1786, more problems were beginning to surface. A convention of five of the thirteen states, called the Annapolis Convention, met at Annapolis, Maryland, in September, They met to study the trade problem. There was not enough The Articles of Confederation Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson, James Madison and Benjamin Franklin representation to make any big decisions, so the delegates led by Alexander Hamilton (New York) and James Madison (Virginia) called for another convention to begin in May, 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In February of that year, Congress agreed with the delegates and stated the convention would have the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation. 9
