Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were drafted and ratified by the Continental Congress. The Senate didn't exist in the form it does now during that time, the British monarchy was the entity the colonies were separating from, and the drafting/ratification wasn't done by all men and women from the colonies in a direct way but by the Continental Congress representing the colonies.

Answer:

Continental Congress
