The article was created by the chosen representatives of the states in the Second Continental Congress.It was the first constitution of the United States of America.It came into force on November 1777.The document was written in the 13 colonies.It was created because the colonists wanted to have a plan of confederacy for securing the freedom, sovereignty, and independence of the United States

The Articles of Confederation 1777 was the first constitution of the United States.One of the main ideas of the article was to have a plan of confederacy for securing the freedom,sovereignty,and independance of the United States.The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments.Some of the main ideas was the distribution of taxes according to the population,the granting of 1 vote per state,and the right of the federal government to dispose of public lands in the West.
3.Examine an interesting quotation or sentence and justify why you selected this statement.
"If any person guilty of, or charged with, treason, felony, or other high misdemeanor in any State, shall flee from justice, and be found in any of the united States, he shall, upon demand of the governor or executive power of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, and re-moved to the State having jurisdiction of his offence."I selected this sentence because it is strongly setting down the laws and will make the citizens know who is in charge.

How did they decide to elect representatives from the Second Continental Congress?

I think that this document is a very important aspect in the American History. Without the creation of this document America would not have a constitution and therefore would not be what it is today.
6.Any unique or unusual qualities of the source.
The Articles of Confederation was the governing constitution of the alliance of thirteen independent and sovereign states known today as the United States of America.The Articles set the rules for operations of the “United States” confederation which was capable of making war, negotiating diplomatic agreements, and resolving issues regarding the western territories
7.Who was the author,speaker,or creator of the source?
It was created by the chosen representatives of the states in the Second Continental Congress.

The article was addressed to any inhabitants of the thirteen colonies.
