Why did the colonist feel the articles of confederation were necessary even though the Declaration of Independence was already written?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Declaration of Independence mainly set up rights and declared the US a free nation. However, it did not explain how the government and country would be set up, and without a structured government it would be chaos, which is why the colonists wanted the articles, which set up a government for the newly formed country.

Have a wonderful day! :D
