The Continental Congress adopted, the first constitution of
the United States, on November 15, 1777. However, ratification of the Articles
of Confederation by all thirteen states did not occur until March 1, 1781. The
Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central

Constitutional Convention in 1787. The present United States Constitution
replaced the Articles of Confederation on March 4, 1789. The Content of
