| The new United
States of America had no central government to replace
the British control of national issues such as commerce,
foreign policy and defense. The members of the Second
Continental Congress continued to govern in place of a
national government. They appointed a committee to draft
the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation defined the federal government powers separate from those of the states. The Articles were adopted in March 1781. In the interim, the Congress continued to act on behalf of the federal government, and they directed the war effort. |
