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. :)
How many days did it take to draft the constitution?

When was the US Constitution was signed?
It was signed on by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention, meeting in Philadelphia, on September 17, 1787. Contrast this with the signing of the Articles of Confederation, the prior constitution of the United States. It was first signed on July 9, 1778, but due to a number of objections by the states (particularly over the status of the western territories), signing was not completed until March 1, 1781. However that is not the date that the United States was actually established; in other words, the Constitution did not take effect on that date. Technically, and according to its own stipulation, it took effect when it was signed by the ninth state to ratify it: New Hampshire. That happened June 21, 1788. The date mentioned above, September 17, 1787, is when the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia agreed on the final draft of the Constitution and sent it to Congress with the recommendation that it be sent to the states for ratification.

Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was where both the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution were devised and signed.New York and Philadelphia were both used as temporary capitals during the Revolutionary war as either was captured by the British or liberated, but by the end of the war, Philadelphia was the capital of the United States, and would remain that way as the United States government slowly shifted to the newly built Washington City as various Federal buildings like the White House were completed. John Adams was the first President to live in the White House.
Why do some sources say that March 4 1789 is the date the Constitution became the supreme law of the nation and not 1787 or 1788?
The dates mark different events in the creation, ratification and operation of the Constitution.
