In what year was the Supreme Law of the Land in the US written?
The "Supreme Law of the Land" is the US Constitution.Delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia began writing the US Constitution in May 1787 and created the completed version on September 17, 1787. The Constitution was adopted by the delegates that day, was ratified by the states on June 21, 1788, and became effective March 4, 1789.
Why did founding fathers get chosen to write the Constitution without any public input?
The Philadelphia Convention was, in fact held behind closed doors. Minutes of the meetings were secreted at Mt. Vernon, and not all delegates arrived at the convention with the understanding that the convention was being held not to alter the Articles of Confederation, but to replace them with a new Constitution. This secrecy was probably neccessary. To open the convention to public debate would have assured that it would have been mired in constant debate with little hope for a workable agreement. The delegates wisely, I think, chose to hammer out a completed document that could be presented to the states in a complete or near complete form. This both minimized the debate, and provided for those skillful at propaganda ample time to formulate arguements for and against the document. (Federalist Papers) In the end, the public did have a say, in so far as each state had to ratify the document.
Does one lose their constitutional rights after having completed their sentence of punishment?
Not unless double jeopardy is allowed.
In what year was the US Constitution signed?
September 17, 1787. The answer that was first here was 1776. I am sorry but that is not the right answer because it was a year that a famous document was signed but not this one. In 1776 The Declaration Of Independence was signed. The Constitution couldn't have come before The Declaration Of Independence, because the Constitution is a document listing the law of The United States Of America... We weren't in control of Great Britain when the Constitution was written.
How many years after the Declaration of Independence was the Constitution written?
They completed the constitution on September 17, 1787, twelve years after the US declared its independence from England.I think. :)
