None. Until 1789 there was no US government and that is when the constitution was signed and Washington became President.
The United States Constitution was signed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1787.
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.
