    The Articles of Confederation outlined a very different role for states compared to the later US Constitution. Here are some key points about what the Articles of Confederation said about states:

    Retained Sovereignty: Each state retained its sovereignty, meaning it held most of the governing power. This is in contrast to the Constitution, which grants specific powers to the federal government. [Articles of Confederation, Article II]

    Equality of States: All states were considered equal under the Articles. Each state had one vote in Congress, regardless of its population. [Articles of Confederation, Article II]

    Limited Central Government: The national government under the Articles of Confederation had very little power. It could not regulate trade, tax citizens directly, or raise an army. Most power resided with the individual states.
