What were the seven articles?
All of the articles consisted of the legislative branch, the executive branch, the judicial branch, how states got along with each other, how the constitution can be changed, supremacy law of the land, and the ratification process.
Article I: L(ance)egislative
This article is based on the legislative branch. In this article, congress (whom is split into the senate and house of reps) has the power to create laws, collect taxes, and declare war. The senate bases equal representation for each state and the house of representatives bases representation on population.
Article II: E(njoys)xecutive
