The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, commonly known as the Articles of Confederation, was the first governing document of the United States of America.
The articles, which combined the Thirteen Colonies of the American Revolutionary War into a loose confederation, were adopted by the Second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777, after 16 months of debate. The articles were ratified three years later on March 1, 1781.
The articles were replaced by the United States Constitution on June 21, 1788, when the ninth state, New Hampshire, ratified the Constitution.
