Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation were made so that Congress would become the single branch of the national government, but it would have limited powers to protect the liberties of the people. Each colonies then had one vote in the Congress. Congress was a bit like the heart and the colonies were the legs, sending in votes. The Continental Congress appointed one person from each colony to be in the Committee of Thirteen. The Committee of Thirteen were the people that created and signed the Articles of Confederation. Each individual had a huge part in history, but since there were so many people, I wrote about a few of the people's lives and how they were able to sign the Articles of Confederation.
