Throughout the 1760s and 1770s, political relations between England and the Thirteen Colonies became increasingly complicated. On the one hand, England wanted to impose taxes and demands that it never imposed on American settlers before. In contrast, the residents of the Thirteen Colonies, accustomed to autonomy, did not intend to submit to this new policy of the British metropolis.

Dissatisfied with this situation, the most prominent representatives of the colonies decided to meet at the First Continental Congress of Philadelphia, organized in 1774. At that event, their participants drew up a document in which they demanded an end to the taxes established by the British authorities. Apart from separatist pretensions, this first political action by the colonists was intended to peacefully reverse the interventionist tone adopted by the British.

Without achieving the expected effect, other settlers believed that the military conflict could end the colonialist pretensions of the English government. In 1775, some settlers already organized themselves militarily to carry out a confrontation against England. That same year, during the Second Continental Congress of Philadelphia, a larger contingent of supporters advocated definitive separation through the organization of direct confrontation.

the main concern with the first draft of the articles of confederation was too much power in the state governments.
