The constitution was approved by the convention on September 15th 1787 by the constitutional convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
It was actually written at the constitutional convention. The meeting was designed to amend the previous "constitution" know as the Articles of Confederation. As the new Constitution was a new set of laws, it had to have the approval of 9 out of the 13 states to be legal and attributed to said states, as stated in the Articles of Confederation. However, after the first 9 states approved it, they wanted to go for the others so that there wasn't a split in the country, specifically in NY which would have caused both a geographical split as well as a political on. To help convince NY to approve, a set of essay's known as The Federalist Papers were sent to the representatives to New York, written by John Jay, Madison and (I think) Jefferson.
