The Articles of Confederation could qualify as the first constitution of the United States if the question is asked with a lower-case c, but if the question is asked with a capital C, it refers to the United States Constitution and there has been only one and it is still the Constitution we have today. The first constitution written in America was the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, but it was not for the entire nation.
In a sense.The Constitutional Convention, in itself, did not replace the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution was created at the Convention and it was based upon some of the ideals that the Articles of Confederation had, but had changed many things.So, in a sense, no. The Constitutional Convention did notreplace the Articles of Confederation, but the Constitution that was created then did.
The Articles lasted from March 1, 1781, to March 4, 1789 after that the ratification process took place, and the new constitution still used today was set in place.
