Presidents Under The Articles of Confederation The First Constitution

Presidents Who Served John Hanson ( ) Elias Boudinot ( ) Thomas Mifflin ( ) Richard Henry Lee ( ) John Hancock ( ) Nathaniel Gorham ( ) Arthur St. Clair ( ) Cyrus Griffin ( ) The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States of America and was in effect from There were eight individuals appointed by Congress for a one-year term in office, and each was referred to as “President of the United States in Congress Assembled.” When John Hanson of Maryland was appointed in 1781, he was the first to serve the one-year term in office as specified in Article IX of the Articles of Confederation. If we had not had the Articles of Confederation to learn how to create a national government, there is a very good chance that we could not have had the present Constitution.
