Introduction

The constitution of the United States established the domestic government and laws of the fundamentals of America and granted some basic rights to its citizens on September 17, 1987, by delegates to the democratic conference signed in Philadelphia. However, it was then created so has to ensure the rights of the people in the united states are implemented. In 1987, it was ratified. It was established at a time when the country was a loose confederation of each functioning as separate countries.

Historical context

The reports that were written in the constitution gave the congress that was founded to have authority to regulate international affairs, conduct and control the currency. However, the power they had was totally scarce because they had no power to implement their demands for money or troops to the states. The constitutional convention opened in Philadelphia on May 25, 1987, at the Pennsylvania statehouse, where the declaration process was done; it consisted of 55 delegates who represented the 23 states; however, Rhode Island did not send their representatives because they did not want a central government that might be too powerful and distracts its economic business (Singh,2017).

The delegates who were also considered as framers were highly educated; they were groups composed of farmers, bankers, and lawyers but still served in the legislatures of the continental army and continental congress. Most of them were protestants in terms of religious affiliation; the declaration of independence was signed by eight delegates, while six signed the reports of the confederation (Code,2019).

Conclusion

The making process of the united states showed many conditions, and these motivating other nations to come up with their own constitution to govern their countries. The delegates passed the constitution because it was stable and were able to major on important issues.
