After gaining independence from Great Britain, the United States of America's first Constitution was the Articles of Confederation. Under it each individual state was nearly sovereign, and there was no real President of the nation. With a weak federal government, it proved to be a failure and was later replaced by the U.S. Constitution in 1789.

It has been a learning lesson from the beginning for the US, hasn't it? Funny that some states are threatening to break away from the US, kind of like going backwards.

I didn't know that the USA had a "starter" constitution!
The battle over states sovereignty versus a powerful Federal government is at the core of American history.
Interesting.
This is something I did not know!
