Before the Constitution was established in 1787, the United States operated under the Articles of Confederation, which were in effect from 1781 to 1789. The Articles of Confederation created a loose confederation of sovereign states with a weak central government. Under this system, the federal government lacked the power to tax, regulate trade, or enforce laws effectively, leading to various issues and challenges. The limitations of the Articles of Confederation ultimately led to the Constitutional Convention and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
No it is not because Georgia's constitution and laws have to apply to the state so our laws are made for the state only and we have a lot of different things that need to be put in check but the laws for the US are only minor laws so there are less :D
Article VI, Clause 2 (the Supremacy Clause) states the US Constitution and Federal Laws and treaties made in accordance with the Constitution are the supreme law of the land.
None of the Amendments make that statement; Article VI, Clause 2 (the Supremacy Clause), part of the original body of the Constitution that predates the Amendments declares the Constitution and federal laws and treaties made in accordance with the Constitution are the supreme law of the land. In other words, Constitution, federal laws and treaties can overrule state and local laws.Article VI, Clause 2 (Supremacy Clause)This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
Article 1, section 1 of the United States constitution states who has the power to make laws. In the United States, laws are made in the legislative branch of government.
"All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation. This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlevi
No, the U.S. had an Articles of Confederation before the constitution was written and ratified. That made the states make their own laws without a federal government
Robbery has ALWAYS been against the law, even before the Pilgrims landed in North America.

There is no unwritten constitution, so no laws are made as a result of one.
A constitution tells how governments are made
They both made laws
yes

Essentially, yes. Article VI, Section 2, (the Supremacy Clause) of the Constitution reads:"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."The Constitution places federal laws and foreign treaties in the same hierarchy of authority as the Constitution, but only to the extend that the laws and treaties, themselves, are constitutionally valid.Bear in mind the Constitution didn't write itself; the Founding Fathers/Framers actually declared the Constitution, and all laws and treaties made in accordance with it, the supreme law of the land.
There are no promises made in the Preamble to the Constitution. The Preamble is a list of things that the "We the People, of the United States of America" hope the Constitution will do to form the 'more perfect Union.'
The laws were made before. then they numbered it. they never did one because they didn't want one in the constitution. Every amendment except one was added to the Constitution by two-thirds vote approval by the House of Representatives and the Senate
