The Articles of Confederation were adopted by the Continental Congress on November 15, 1777. This document served as the United States' first constitution. It was in force from March 1, 1781, until 1789 when the present-day Constitution went into effect.
The constitution of 1777 was a conservative document with some innovative features. It continued the colonial laws and courts, but it limited the powers of the governor, established a two-house legislature, and balanced power among the three branches of state government.
It consists of twenty articles numbered using Roman numerals. Article XIX of the Constitution provides for two methods of amending the Constitution: a proposal by the legislature, or a proposal by a constitutional convention. Both methods require approval by the voters.
The proposed constitution was submitted as a whole to the voters in November 1846. Only one provision, that granting suffrage to blacks, was submitted separately. The new constitution was approved by the voters, but the suffrage provision was rejected. The new constitution took effect on January 1, 1847.
