EXPLANATION  

 

Many people know the weaknesses inherent in the Articles of Confederation, but it cannot be denied that these articles contribute to America in the following two important areas:

First, the Articles of Confederation inspired America to fight against Britain and finally win the war. The victory made America independent. Secondly, the Articles united the power of the government of the previously divided divisions of the American colonies so that they became a much more effective fighting force.

Another major achievement was that when the articles were forged in a fierce war, Americans thought and reflected on what had to be changed in order to achieve a good new American government. In other words, the Articles of Confederation helped open the way to the provisions of the Constitution. The Articles of Confederation also played a role in shaping the process by which the western regions can be accepted as US territory. This mechanism instantly resolved territorial disputes that clearly threatened to divide America.

This process was completed through the Northwest Ordinance. The Northwest ordinance greatly strengthened the United States against the possibility of future attacks by foreign powers. It was noteworthy that even after the Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation, Congress continued to perpetuate the Northwest Ordinance as the law which was the most significant achievement of the Article.
