IMO ... no. The Articles of Confederation were an attempt at that and that whole concept didn't work. Thus we have our Constitution.

Notice the time span between the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation; between the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Look how long it took for the "colonies" to come up with the first document (which didn't work well) and a workable document -- and how it's been amended over time.

I think..maybe they would. Im reading about FDR and his new deal. Focusing on the people and states really helped the e comony as a whole.
