Convention May 15th 1787 to September 17th 1787; ratified by the states June 21st 1788.
Our Constitution was not the first document defining our Country and government, the first was the failed Articles of Confederation. The Constitution has survived over 200 years and the preamble is definitive:
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
