History – Articles of Confederation and Constitution The birth and early development of the United States of America are told through several key historical documents. The Declaration of Independence announced our freedom from Great Britain and listed a number of complaints against the King. The Articles of Confederation served as our first constitution, though it did not sufficiently provide for powers, rights and divisions of the federal government. The U. S. Constitution addressed the complaints in the Declaration of Independence and cured the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, as well as proposing a different way of amending the Constitution. Finally, the Constitution was developed through a number of compromises, including the Great Compromise of 1787, which created a bicameral federal legislature and determined states' representation in both the House and Senate.
