To what extent was the form of government established under the Articles of Confederation successful?

- I need an amazing thesis statement for this topic, and I've got a giant essay block in my cerebrum.

The Articles, which united the Thirteen Colonies of the American Revolutionary War into a loose confederation, were adopted by the Second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777, after months of debate. The Articles were ratified four years later on March 1, 1781.

The Articles were replaced (due to concerns over a weak central government, a lack of union among the colonies, and Shays' Rebellion) by the United States Constitution on June 21, 1788, when the ninth state, New Hampshire, ratified the Constitution.

Very short life span (all things considered).
