During war, Continental Congress created a set of laws called the Articles of Confederation– Created a national government– Each state kept their own government.
Because King and British Parliament had trampled on their rights – the colonists wanted to make sure that their new nation of states would be created in a way that no one group or one person could get too much power!!!!!
They were too cautious - Made new national government too weak.
Articles were thrown out – Constitution was written!!!!!
