The Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject to British rule. The Articles of Confederation were the first constitution of the United States, adopted in 1781, which established a weak central government and gave most of the power to the states.
