the Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation were important because they were the first attempt at a body of laws created to govern the new United States. Ultimately, though, they did not last and were replaced by the US Constitution, which has endured since the 1780s.
John Hanson was a politician who served as President of the Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation in the 1780s. There is a myth that he was of Moorish descent, but there is no credible evidence to support this claim. He was actually of European descent.
The convention was the result of a campaign to reform the first charter of government of the United States, the Articles of Confederation. Throughout the 1780s, politicians who thought in national terms worried that the Confederation faced problems its government was too weak to solve.

The states decided to send representatives at the request of Virginia, acting on James Madison's urging, to meet and amend the Articles of Confederation. There had been rebellions in the countryside (Shay's Rebellion most prominently) and some states (Rhode Island for example) had their state legislatures flooded with farmers who passed debtor relief laws. The 1780s are known as the Time of Troubles, because the Articles of Confederation were too weak to work against the power of a spiteful British Empire. The states did not send representatives to draft a new Constitution, but rather to amend the current Articles of Confederation. The delegates that were sent decided to make a whole new document without the permission of their states.
There was a need for the new Constitution because the Articles Of Confederation were not enough to suffice the new nation. They lacked a Bill of Rights and weakened the new, unmatured America. The Constitution added the Bill of Rights and gave citizens basic freedoms, such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc.
The plural of 1780 is 1780s. As in "this took place during the 1780s".
They were an early attempt by the Founding Fathers at a new governmental system for the country. They lasted until around the late 1780s. The biggest flaw in them was that every state was practically an individual country...completely different from it's neighbors in some respects. Each state could print it's own money was one huge flaw. There was no Federal government as such; each state was pretty much absolute in its own borders. Eventually the Articles just collapsed in on theirselves.
