Who drew up the Articles of Confederation in 1777?

Answer 1

The Articles were written during the early part of the American Revolution by a committee of the Second Continental Congress of the now independent thirteen sovereign states. The head of the committee, John Dickinson, who had refused to sign the Declaration of Independence, nevertheless adhering to the will of the majority of the members of the Continental Congress, presented a report on the proposed articles to the Congress on July 12, 1776, eight days after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Dickinson initially proposed a strong central government, with control over the western lands, equal representation for the states, and the power to levy taxes.

Answer 2

There were three groups who took up a separate portion of the tasks. Dickinson draft the Articles, as that was his function. Though he may have "written" it technically, he was by no means the author!

It was written in 1776 and adopted in 1777. The primary issue, with that and the Constitution, is that it did not dileaniate personal liberties and many states had to be promised that they would be written. On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States submitted the Bill of Rights as promised! Amendments 1-12, however the 1st 2 did not make it!
