The Continental Congress wrote the Articles of Confederation during the Revolutionary War. The articles were written to give the colonies some sense of a unified government. Once the thirteen colonies became the thirteen states, however, each one began to act alone in its own best interest. A new governing document was needed in order for these new states to act together, to become a nation.
The Articles of Confederation became effective on March 1, 1781, after all thirteen states had ratified them. The Articles made the states and legislature supreme. There was no executive branch. Judicial functions were very limited.
The resulting government was weak. Efforts to make it stronger failed. A convention called in May 1787 to re-write the Articles decided to draft an entirely new Constitution.

Article 5 - Allocates one vote in the Congress of the Confederation (United States in Congress Assembled) to each state, which was entitled to a delegation of between two and seven members. Members of Congress were appointed by state legislatures; individuals could not serve more than three out of any six years.

Federalists have been supporters of the adoption of the form. Anti-Federalists have been people who damaging it. 2 significant progression interior the form replaced into that it created the place of work of President, which failed to exist under the Articles, and it gave the federal government the the appropriate option to impose taxes. The Articles gave basically the states skill to hold mutually taxes, and the government had to exist on contributions from the states. because of the fact the states could desire to on no account conform to a honest formulation for dividing the expenditures, the government on no account had sufficient money

I just looked it up in Wikipedia, to be sure I remembered correctly.
the Congress was the only branch. In disputes between the states, Congress settled the disputes.
