The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the United States of America. It was adopted in its original form on September 17, 1787 by the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and later ratified by the people in conventions in each state in the name of "We the People". In reality, they were not popular referendums, but the State Assemblies were in charge of ratifying the Constitution. The first nine states to pass the Constitution took 10 months. The first state to ratify it was Delaware, on December 7, 1787, with a unanimous vote of 30-0. The Constitution has a central place in American law and political culture.4 The Constitution of the United States is the oldest federal constitution in force in the world.
