The document that was written to guide the new country through the war and to demonstrate its legitimacy as a nation was the Declaration of Independence. Drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, it articulated the colonies' desire for independence from British rule and outlined the principles of individual rights and self-governance. This pivotal document not only galvanized support for the Revolutionary War but also established a foundational philosophy for the new nation.
Most frequently the term of a document that defines the role of government and how the government organized is called a constitution.

Absolutely. It was ratified by the states, exactly as the Constitution was, and is the defining point of beginning for a new nation. A founding document is a statement of intent, for a new nation.
This was our founding document-- it let the British know we wanted to be a free country, rather than a colony of England. By declaring our independence, we gave birth to a new nation: the United States.

The USA is not a nation state but rather is a Union, a nation state derives political legitimacy from the fact that it is a sovereign entity that is part of the country. A good example of a nation state is Japan. The Union system used by the USA is where the states remain under the entire country.
