The Articles of Confederation were a model for the future government of the United States.
These Articles were meant to bring all thirteen states together to solve common problems. Although, the individual states retained their rights and independence.
Unfortunately, the Articles did not do much for the states other than establish the legal basis that the Continental Congress already had.
The document did function well during war time, as it helped the states win the Revolutionary War and helped spark other documents, such as Northwest Ordinance of 1787, that aided in the growth and development of the United States of America.
