No. The Gettysburg Address was the speech that 16th U.S. President Abraham Lincoln [February 12, 1809-April 15, 1865] gave on the afternoon of Thursday, November 18, 1863. It was part of the dedication ceremonies for the Soldiers' National Cemetery at the Pennsylvania town of the same name. On July 1-3 of that same year, the town had been the scene of an important Union victory over the Confederate forces during the War between the States. The President took just over two minutes to speak. To this day, the speech remains one of the most quoted speeches in U.S. history. The last article of the U.S. Constitution instead is Article VII. The article says that the Constitution goes into effect once it has been ratified by nine states.
