A community portal about United States Constitution with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the United States of America. It was adopted in its original form on September 17, 1787, by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and later ratified by state-selected delegates representing the people of the several states. When delegates in nine of the then thirteen states ratified the document, it marked the creation of a union of sovereign states, and a federal government to administer that union. It took effect on March 4, 1789, replacing the weaker, non-centralized union that existed under the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution of the United States is the oldest constitution for a federal system still in use. The original transcribed copy of the document is on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
