New Hampshire was one of a small number of colonies (I think Massachusetts was the only other one) that had its own constitution prior to the establishment of the US Constitution. But it was New Hampshire's ratification and signing of the US Constitution in June of 1788 that established the US as a nation, and the Constitution as the law of the US. This is because New Hampshire was the 9th of the 9 required ratifying states to accept the Constitution. So it was really at that time that New Hampshire was established as a state in the union.
