It is a "True" statement.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation constituted the first government document or constitution of the United States of America. They were approved by the second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777.

In addition, the Articles of Confederation are considered one of the four founding documents of the American nation. Significantly, through the Articles of the Confederation the new nation was called "The United States of America."

According to these articles, the states would be sovereign and independent and Congress received the authority to make treaties and alliances, maintain the armed forces and coin coins.
