Articles of Confederation was not really much of a government at all, but rather a diplomatic conference
where the sovereign states, each of which regarded itself as an autonomous nation, met to coordinate a
domestic version of foreign policy. It was, in effect, designed to be weak, and lacked altogether the
authority to manage a burgeoning empire.
