Description
The Articles of Confederation is a compact hardcover edition containing the preamble, conclusion, and all thirteen articles that make up this pivotal document. Adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777 and ratified by the states in 1781, it was one of the United States' first governing documents. Although the Articles of Confederation did not establish a strong federal government, it laid down a set of rules for politics and governance that continue to influence American politics today. This document predates the United States Constitution, which replaced it in 1789. This pocket-sized hardcover edition provides an accessible introduction to this significant historical document, allowing readers to explore its enduring impact on American politics and governance.
