Connecticut is nicknamed the "Constitution State." This moniker is believed to have originated from the Fundamental Orders of 1638-1639, which were considered by some as the first written constitution that created a government. The nickname reflects the state's significant role in the development of constitutional governance in America.
The Mayflower Compact was not a constitution in the modern sense. It was a simple agreement among the Pilgrims that outlined basic rules for governing themselves in the newly established Plymouth Colony. It served as a temporary governing document until a more formal constitution could be created. The first written constitution in America was the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, adopted in 1639.
