The Articles of Confederation was the agreement within the 13 States of USA which were part of the first constitution. Once all 13 states gave their approval in regards to The Articles of Confederation, it was implemented and it came into force 1781. This article clearly showed that there was distrust among the people of United States of America in regards to a strong central government within the country which takes all the actions and makes all the laws for the welfare of the country and it was the start of ‘American Revolution” another issue which these Articles had was the lack of judiciary became problem as there were issues between states and they always stood against each other in courts as if one verdict came in a case against one state then that state would not accept that verdict. This problem was seen by the people who made the constitution and wanted to make all states to work with each other, Articles of Confederation needed to be changed or scrapped completely which was last done. Articles of Confederation lasted for a period of 8 years and were replaced by the current constitution of the United States in the year 1789.
