Serving the newly created United States of America as the first constitution, the Articles of Confederation were an agreement among the 13 original states preserving the independence and sovereignty of the states. But with a limited central government, the Constitutional Convention came together to replace the Articles of Confederation with a more established Constitution and central government on where the states can be represented and voice their concerns and comments to build up the nation.

Name Meaning

English: from the Middle English personal name Ally, Alli, as forms such as Johannes filius Alli (Norfolk, 1205) make clear. It may be a pet form of Alexander , Alan , Alice , or Alison , or a survival of Old Danish Alli, Old Swedish Alle, found as Alli in the Domesday Book.

In some cases also an altered form of French Hallé (see Halle 2) or of some other similar (like-sounding) surname.

Variant of Allee 2, a surname of French origin.
