CONFEDERATION.] Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union between the States of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts-Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina and Georgia. Lancaster, (Pennsylvania) Printed, Boston Re-Printed by John Gill, Printer to the General Assembly, 1777. Folio (11 ¾ x 7.1/ in.; 282 x 190). 16pp. Title-page foxed and soiled with several small punctures, three page-numbers slightly cropped). Half dark green morocco (boards spotted). The Continental Congress early on recognized the need for a confederation based upon a written compact. The draft enunciated the powers of the states, asserting that each “retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence.” On page 9, under the signature of Henry Laurens, President of Congress, the Articles are submitted to the states for ratification. The ratification process was not completed until March 1781, when many of the flaws in the Confederation had become obvious. By 1786, the Articles were increasingly ineffective, and national leaders sought a new basis for union, culminating in the call for a Constitutional Convention. But the Articles had served as a stepping stone to a new order, and, as John Marshall said, they had preserved the idea of union until national wisdom could adopt a more efficient system. Church V: 1143; Evans 15623; Sabin 2142; Streeter Sale II:787 (“this is one of the great documents in our history”).
