Carlisle Peace Commission
Immediately after the Declaration, Congress drafted the [[Articles of Confederation]]. It went into effect in 1777 but was not finally ratified in 1781. After a four month long [[Constitutional Convention]] and ratifying conventions in all 13 states, the Articles were replaced by the much more powerful [[Constitution]] in 1789.
