Last Week's Trivia Question:
Question: In what year was the Constitution of the United States ratified?
Answer: 1789. In 1787, the Articles of Confederation governed the United States. Because these laws were ineffective, a Constitutional Convention was called in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. The delegates, however, did not revise the Articles of Confederation. Instead, they drafted a new document to govern the United States called the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution of the United States was ratified in 1789. It was a new and revolutionary idea. The Constitution states the power to govern is derived from the people, rather than the states, and it is the supreme law of the land. Read a book about the Constitution.
