Then & Now
🕰️ People still argue about this. Now you'll see why.
The transition from revolution to constitution in the United States was marked by the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where delegates gathered to address the inadequacies of the Articles of Confederation. The resulting U.S. Constitution established a stronger federal government with checks and balances among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. This new framework was designed to protect individual rights while ensuring that no single branch would become too powerful. The Constitution was ratified in 1788, creating a more unified nation and laying the groundwork for future governance and rights protections.
