the main writer would be john dickinson. again, dickinson would be famous for kind of trying to slow us down for independence. at the same time he is making those arguments, he is working on writing the articles of confederation, this formal agreement between the states of how the united states is going to operate, where essentially, the congress would run the war run foreign policy. the states would run their internal, but they would cooperate with each other. he would not have to pay taxes and tariffs if you want from state to state. well, the first problem with the articles of confederation i think, and ultimately what dooms it, you can see from how it is signed. the signing is going to take place right when the cotton on the congress comes back to philadelphia after the british army left in 1778. the british leave philadelphia in june. on jly 9, they are ready to sign the articles of confederation -- on july 9. the declaration of independence is signed by the delegates and most of them sign it on the same day. the articl
