Introduction
The Drafting of the United States Constitution began in the 1700’s, it offically became signed into law on September 17th, 1787 it was ultimatley signed by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. The U.S Constitution played the key role in establishing America’s national government and fundamental laws, it as well guaranteed certain basic rights to U.S citizens.
The possibility of amending the Constitution helped ensure its ratification, although many feared the powerful federal government it created would deprive them of their rights. To allay their anxieties, the framers promised that a Bill of Rights safeguarding individual liberties would be added following ratification.
The drafting of the U.S. Constitution was a major pivotal moment for American history. Framers drafted and adopted the U.S. Constitution when it then became clear that Articles of Confederation didn’t provide what the world needed which was a strong federal government, without that it posed quite the issue in post-revolutionary war America.
