The Constitution of the USA

A constitution may be defined, as the system or body of funda­mental principles according to which a nation or state is constituted and governed. A good example of a written constitution in this sense is the Constitution of the United States, formed in 1787. It is a relatively brief document of some 12 pages. The Constitution of the United States is the source of government authority and the fun­damental law of the land. For over 200 years it has guided the evo­lution of governmental institutions and has provided the basis for political stability, individual freedom, economic growth and social progress.

The Constitutional Convention which was to adopt a new con­stitution, officially opened on May 25, 1787, in Philadelphia. The 55 delegates who drafted the Constitution included most of the outstanding leaders, or Founding Fathers, of the new nation. George Washington, the military hero of the War of Independence, was the presiding officer. In the course of the Convention the delegates created a new form of government for the United States. The Consti­tution set up a federal system with a strong central government.
