The '''Articles of Confederation''', written in 1777, ratified by the colonies March 1, 1781, established the [[United States of America]]. Signed by [[John Dickenson]], [[Benjamin Franklin]], [[Roger Sherman]] and other future [[Framers]] of the [[U.S. Constitution]], the Articles instituted a perpetual union of the thirteen colonies into a confederation that could operate unitarily in times of war. The new national government consisted only of a [[Legislature]], with one vote per state. A 3/4 vote was required to pass laws, and amendments required unanimous voting.
