Answer:
The Continental Congress
Explanation:
After the declaration, the Continental Congress was the de facto government of the 13 colonies. However, the Continental Congress couldn't collect taxes or enforce laws. Mainly because the cause of independence was mistrust of a central government. This fact made it initially very difficult to organize and recruit a Continental Army, and in the beginning, the war was fought by 13 separate armies, each armed and drafter by each of the colonies.
With the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on April 12, 1945, Vice President Harry S. Truman assumed the Oval Office. He surely knew he faced a difficult set of challenges in the immediate future: overseeing the final defeats of Germany and Japan; managing the U.S. role in post-war international relations; supervising the American economy's transition from a war-time to a peace-time footing; and maintaining the unity of a fractious and powerful Democratic Party.
The Constitution does not mention political parties, yet they play an important role in U.S. government. They began to emerge with disputes over the ratification of the Constitution, becoming known as the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists.
