Asked in History of the United States, Colonial America, New Hampshire
What government was established first in the New Hampshire colony?
I'm assuming you are referring to the New Hampshire Constitution
of 1776 (written four months before the Declaration of
Independence). The chief differences between the 1776 Constitution
and the US Constitution are a lack of bill of rights, and no
executive branch. The two branches were a house of representatives,
and a council. The council was originally appointed with the
intention of a popular vote if a universal constitution wasn't
written, because ultimately this constitution seemed to be written
as an emergency constitution...

When was the constitution of the US signed?
September 17, 1787.
The answer that was first here was 1776. I am sorry but that is
not the right answer because it was a year that a famous document
was signed but not this one. In 1776 The Declaration Of
Independence was signed. The Constitution couldn't have come before
The Declaration Of Independence, because the Constitution is a
document listing the law of The United States Of America... We
weren't in control of Great Britain when the Constitution was
written.
