What led to the Constitution?

After the Colonies declared independence from England, the new country needed a document to describe the structure of the new government. The first of these governing documents was The Articles of Confederation, which was ratified in 1781. Because The Articles proved to be unsuccessful at governing the US as needed, the Constitutional Convention met in 1787 to discuss revising The Articles. Eventually, a completely new document, The Constitution, is written and ratified in 1788.


Was the constitution ratified on July 4 1776?

Expert answerThe Declaration of Independence of the 13 American colonies issued this document and the date is considered to be the birth of a new nation. A war with Great Britain would, however, be required to win independence. The creation of the United States came much later in 1789 with the ratification of the US Constitution. This governing document was a milestone in world history. The USA became the first true republic since ancient Rome had a "republic.
