The transition from revolution to constitution in the United States marked a significant evolution in governance following the American Revolution. Initially, the Articles of Confederation provided a framework for a loose alliance of states, but their limitations soon became apparent. In response, the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was convened, bringing together influential leaders like George Washington and James Madison to draft a new constitution that would create a stronger federal government. The resulting U.S. Constitution established a system of checks and balances and outlined the rights of citizens, laying the foundation for modern American democracy.
