Constitution Day
Marking the occasion of Constitution Day, September 17, NRO reviews the history of our founding document. Scroll forward . . .
On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress approves the Declaration of Independence.
Wary of a strong national government, Congress adopts the Articles of Confederation on Nov. 15, 1777.
Maryland is the last state to ratify the articles after Virginia and New York agree to cede their claims to the Ohio River Valley in 1781.
At a convention in Annapolis in 1786, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton confer on the need for a stronger federal government.
When Massachusetts farmer Daniel Shays and other debtors shut down state courts in a minor rebellion, the Founders are spurred to fix the Articles.
On May 25, 1787, the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia begins. George Washington is elected president of the convention.
Virginia governor Edmund Randolph introduces the “Virginia plan,” calling for two houses of Congress based on proportional representation.
On June 15, 1787, William Paterson introduces the “Delaware plan,” calling for a unicameral legislature in which each state gets one vote.
The convention approves a compromise by which one house will be based on proportional representation and the other on equal state representation.
The Constitution is approved on September 17, 1787. Three delegates, Elbridge Gerry, George Mason, and Edmund Randolph, refuse to sign.
Hamilton, Madison, and John Jay write a series of newspaper articles in favor of ratification. The first runs in New York on October 27, 1787.
In December 1787, Delaware becomes the first state to ratify the Constitution. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, and others follow.
New Hampshire’s ratification on June 21, 1788, puts the Constitution into effect. Although Patrick Henry opposes it, Virginia follows suit on June 25.
George Washington is sworn into office on April 30, 1789. North Carolina joins the union on Nov. 21, 1789; Rhode Island on May 29, 1790.
On June 8, 1789, Madison introduces a series of constitutional amendments to the House. Ten are ratified and become known as the Bill of Rights.
