  7. Historical Interpretation • The current Constitution of the United States was designed to replace America’s first written instrument of government, The Articles of Confederation. The Articles were proposed by Congress in 1777, were finally ratified in 1781 and they were an abject failure. Realizing that the Articles could not rightly be salvaged through mere modification, a group of delegates met in the summer of 1787 to fashion a completely new Constitution and therefore, a completely new government.
