Explanation:
The Articles of confederation was written in 1771 and approved in 1781. The Articles of confederation which was the first constitution of America established an organ of government namely; the Legislature without an Executive organ. The Legislative organ of government is known as the Congress, made up of the House of Representatives and Senate.
It established a bicameral Legislative organ that had representatives from the 13 states at that time. Under the Articles, Congress got their powers from the powers directly delegated to them by the States. They could only function based on the delegated powers to appoint civil servants, declare war, take care of military affairs, etc.
