The Federalist Papers
Before the U.S. Constitution became the law of the land, it was drafted during the Constitutional Convention in 1787, addressing the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. After being signed by the delegates, it required ratification by nine of the thirteen states to take effect. This led to a series of state conventions, debates, and discussions, ultimately resulting in its ratification in 1788. The Constitution officially took effect on March 4, 1789, establishing the framework for the U.S. government.
