Many nations wanted to find the U.S passage, because they wanted to find a quicker route to Asia. They thought going around Africa was way too long and going across the Mediterranean Sea was too expensive and risky. They thought that sailing west would get them to Asia in no time. In reality, it was North America and they would have to go much farther in order to get to Asia, but they did not know that back then.
The Articles of Confederation, were the first US legal policies. It was from the ratification of these articles, on March 1, 1781, that the first American political institution was instituted: the Congress of the Confederation, or the United States Joint Congress.
The biggest success of the Articles of Confederation were Ordinance of 1785, set up a plan for surveying western lands, and the northwest ordinance, set up a government for each area.
