Strictly speaking, 'The Plough' is not a constellation, it is an asterism. An asterism is a part of a constellation, which is widely recognised on cultural rather than historical grounds. 'The Plough' forms part of the constellation Ursa Major, 'The Great Bear', but is composed of only seven stars, forming its characteristic 'plough/dipper' shape, whereas the Great Bear is composed of around sixteen or nineteen stars. The handle of the Plough corresponds to the head of the Great Bear, and the blade of the Plough corresponds to the small of the bear's back.
