The primary purpose of the Articles of Confederation was to support and conduct the war against England. The Articles, adopted in 1781, served as the first constitution of the United States and aimed to create a framework for governance during the Revolutionary War and to facilitate cooperation among the states. However, it established a weak national government, which ultimately led to its replacement by the U.S. Constitution in 1789. The other options you provided do not accurately describe the purpose of the Articles of Confederation.
