The U.S. Constitution is the founding document that established the form and function of the government of the United States of America. It was drafted in 1787 and sent to the 13 states for ratification. Many delegations demanded an enumeration of guaranteed rights, so the first ten amendments, known as the "Bill of Rights" were published separately and sent as well. Though the government began operation on March 4, 1789 under the ratified unamended document, North Carolina and Rhode Island held out until the Bill of Rights were added.

  • The U.S. Constitution is the founding document that established the form and function of the government of the United States of America. It was drafted in 1787 and sent to the 13 states for ratification. Many delegations demanded an enumeration of guaranteed rights, so the first ten amendments, known as the "Bill of Rights" were published separately and sent as well. Though the government began operation on March 4, 1789 under the ratified unamended document, North Carolina and Rhode Island held out until the Bill of Rights were added. It would receive 17 more amendments, most of which just clarified statements of the 1791 document. One amendment would nullify an earlier one and one would finally become law nearly two centuries after it was introduced! After Doomsday, the majority of the survivor states would use this document still, some with no thought of revision. In 1991, a group of citizens wishing to continue the legend that had become the United States of America, met in Torrington, Wyoming, to draft a revision.
