What was the name of the government that was developed after the revolutionary war?

I do believe that it would be the Articles of Confederation, which eventually failed..

Articles of confederation is not the "name of the government." Do you mean First Continental Congress?

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "US revolutionary war first government" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
