Written by a committee of Southern leaders in early 1861, the Constitution of the Confederate States of America mirrors the U.S. Constitution while aiming to uphold the conservative principles of the Articles of Confederation. This document emerged during a pivotal moment when Southern states seceded from the Union, reflecting their desire to establish a new republic rooted in their interpretation of governance. The term "Confederate States of America" was a nod to historical references, linking the new constitution with the early American confederation.
