From 1777 to 1788 when the Constitution was ratified, the Articles of Confederation was the governing document of the United States. The articles gave the majority of power to the states to establish their own laws. The Constitution was written by the Second Continental Congress in order to give the federal government more authority. The Bill of Rights was written in 1789 in response to concerns that the constitution gave the federal government too much power.

I was wrong with my earlier answer. I thought you had asked about 1787. The answer is New Hampshire and Virginia. NH on June 21, 1788 and VA on June 26, 1788. I really should start taking my Aderole again, my apologizes for my earlier incorrect answer.

It was among the earliest state constitutions.  Actually, it was written before the Constitution of the United States (1787).

The Constitution will not go into effect as law of the Land until ratified.\n\nThe (then) current Articles of Confederation were not meant to last forever and needed replacement and enhancements.  These Articles did not specify States Rights versus Federal Rights clearly.\n\nThe Federal Government is broken into 3 branches of Government, to ensure a system of "Checks and Balances."  No single group could get control.  Also, unlike the Articles, the Constitution gave details on how it can be changed in the future (by Ammentments and Ratification).

Depends on what you have discussed in class, really.  ratified in 1789, so you could use that date, but if you have covered Martial Law being instituted by Lincoln in 1861... that makes it dicey.\nLincoln did NOT suspend the constitution during this time, but Martial Law DID suspend Habeas Corpus, and some view that as not allowing the Constitution to be fully utilized, so you could discount 1861-1866 if you are so inclined.
