The Articles of Confederation was the first written constitution of the United States. Stemming from wartime urgency, its progress was slowed by fears of central authority and extensive land claims by states before was it was ratified on March 1, 1781.

We may want to study some of Locke's political thought to keep our country focused in that direction.

Locke's focus always was on liberty as the dominant goal.
