A Committee of the States was an arm of the United States government, under the Articles of Confederation. The Committee consisted of one member from each state, and carried out the functions of government while the Congress of the Confederation was in recess. ==History== In the draft of the Articles of Confederation by John Dickinson and the draft committee, this Committee was called the Council of State vested with executive and staff control for commerce, trade, education and issues as delegated by nine state vote of Congress. The Council was modeled after the various administrative committees set up during the American Revolutionary War. Instead the Second Continental Congress changed it to A Committee of the States with limited management powers only when Congress was not in session. The Committee was set up in 1784 on the proposal of Thomas Jefferson, then a congressman from Virginia. The Committee "quarrelled very soon, split into two parties, () abandoned their post." This was the only time that the Committee was formed and general had a lack of a quorum and did not carry out their administrative tasks.〔
