Both New Hampshire and New York desire more territory for settlers within their states. New land would increase trade, profit and power for their individual states. They claim the Vermont territory and appeal to the Congress to settle the dispute. Under the Articles of Confederation can the Congress solve this problem?

    The Articles of Confederation and perpetual union between states was the first Constitution of the United States. The Article number 2 gave "all the states sovereignty, freedom, and independence" but none of them talk about Territory being claim by another state, that means is not possible to appeal to the Articles of Confederation to solve the dispute between New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.
