Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Declaration of Independence (1776) declared independence from Britain, not outlining US government powers. The Articles of Confederation (1781 - 1788) was the first governing document of the US post - Revolution, outlining a weak central government. The Bill of Rights (1791) are the first ten amendments to the Constitution. The Two Treatises of Government (1689) is a work by John Locke, not a US governing document.

Answer:

the Articles of Confederation
