Definition and meaning of Articles of Confederation

Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation were adopted by the Second Continental Congress in 1781 during the American Revolution.

The Articles were limited in providing solutions to many challenges facing the new nation because the states held most of the power, and Congress lacked the power to tax, regulate trade, or control coinage. In 1787 the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia to revise the Articles, but instead the delegates constructed a new constitution.
