The Declaration of Independence.

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. It was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777, after months of debate. It served as a non-binding plan of government until finally ratified into law on March 1, 1781.

The Articles united the new thirteen American states into a loose confederation, a nation capable of making war, negotiating diplomatic agreements, and resolving issues regarding the western territories, but little more. It was initially intended only as a weak national government designed to manage an emergency, and as such, following the conclusion of the War and the onset of new priorities, its many conspicuous inadequacies became glaringly obvious. It was replaced by the much stronger United States Constitution upon its ratification on June 21, 1788.
