Answer:
The Articles of Confederation was the text that served as the supreme law of the United States from its inception in 1777 to 1788, when the Constitution was ratified.
The Articles of Confederation united the states into a confederation governed by the Confederation Congress, which was made up of representatives of the states on an equal basis. Under this regime, the states kept large quotas of sovereignty, and the Confederation Congress was only in charge of declaring war and forming armies, but it could not collect taxes and it was very difficult for it to apply its resolutions because these could be rejected by the states. This led to a situation of ungovernability, which led to the Philadelphia Convention in 1787, in which the Constitution was created. The Constitution came to solve the problems of governability that existed in the United States, creating a strong federal government under the command of a President, with a Congress to sanction laws and a Judiciary to sanction those who break them. Likewise, the federal government was empowered to collect taxes, thus being able to finance itself without receiving contributions from the states.

Answer:
1, The Pike Expedition (July 15, 1806 – July 1, 1807) was a military party sent out by President Thomas Jefferson and authorized by the United States government to explore the south and west of the recent Louisiana Purchase.[1] Roughly contemporaneous with the Lewis and Clark Expedition, it was led by United States Army Lieutenant Zebulon Pike, Jr. who was promoted to captain during the trip. It was the first official American effort to explore the western Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains in present-day Colorado. Pike contacted several Native American tribes during his travels and informed them that the US now claimed their territory. The expedition documented the United States' discovery of Tava which was later renamed Pikes Peak in honor of Pike. After splitting up his men, Pike led the larger contingent to find the headwaters of the Red River. A smaller group returned safely to the US Army fort in St. Louis, Missouri before winter set in.
Pike's company made several errors and ended up in Spanish territory in present-day Southern Colorado, where the Americans built a fort to survive the winter. Captured by the Spanish and taken into Mexico in February, their travels through present-day New Mexico, Mexico, and Texas provided Pike with important data about Spanish military strength and civilian populations. Although he and most of his men were released because the nations were not at war, some of his soldiers were held in Mexican prisons for years, despite US objections. In 1810, Pike published an account of his expeditions, which was so popular that it was translated into French, German, and Dutch for publication in Europe.
2, Pike and his escort entered New Mexico a few miles west of the Rio Grande and on February 28th arrived at Ojo Caliente, a small village on the frontier, on March 1, 1807.
3, On February 26, in the night Pike and his remaining men were captured at their fort by Spanish soldiers from nearby Santa Fe. Arresting the party as spies, the Spanish collected the rest of his men who had been scattered in the mountains, and marched them all south.
