"Independent Gazetter, or the Chronicle of Freedom," Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 28, 1788
Add to SetSummary
Delegates met in 1787 to revise the Articles of Confederation, which governed the newly independent states. The result, however, was the creation of a new government under the United States Constitution. Though this outline for a strong central government sparked heated debates - as evidenced by the opinionated excerpts printed here - all thirteen states had finally ratified the constitution by May 1790.
