It is known as the Articles of Confederation of the United States of America when they were free and independent States and governments. and the only change I have made in phraseology has been in sometimes changing the word "congress" to "joint council" and the word " state" to "member of the league." We have the precedent when the United States of America formed a league in 1777. which took effect in 1781. and which went down in absolute failure in 1787 to 1789 because it was found that the affairs of nations can not be carried on either by limiting the powers of the representatives of the various components of- one people who ought to be one union. or by trying to tie together people vho have nothing to do with one another. like tying Serbia and Bulgaria and the Balkan States to tile United States of America. The Articles of Confederation contain nothing else of importance. except declarations of rights already possessed or recognition of existing governmental agencies. At that time every man in every one of the former British Colonies had been a British citizen and able to go into every other colony with no restriction by immigration laws of his right to be regarded as a citizen there. and that same right was declared in the Articles of Confederation. But it was a mere declaration of what existed. There was a provision for a general post office.
