Chapter 5 explores the establishment of the Articles of Confederation as the first framework of government for the new United States. Struggling to unify the states during the Revolutionary War, Americans sought to create a governing body. However, the Articles had significant weaknesses that hindered effective governance. This chapter examines the key aspects of the American republic, including its government structure, challenges, and the lessons learned that would influence future governance.
