Articles of Confederation
Subject:
US History [1]
The United States as it existed under the Articles of Confederation was somewhat similar to Europe in the early days of the common market. It was basically divided into 13 nations by allowing each one it's own taxes, and tariffs. However, after a few short years the Articles were removed and replaced by the Constitution in attempt to address their weaknesses. Despite this failure the Articles of Confederation did obtain a few strengths, and were a stepping stone that led the Founding Fathers to create the Constitution.
