11 Years
A bit more than 11 years. The Declaration was adopted formally as of July 4, 1776. The Constitution was written, that is, put in final form to be submitted to the states for ratification on September 17, 1787.
They completed the constitution on September 17, 1787, twelve years after the US declared its independence from England.I think. :)
Declaration of Independence: July 1776 Constitution of the United States of America: May 1787. Thus 1787-1776= approximately 11 years later.
In the sex years
I think it took 13 YEARS from the date of Declaration of Independence to the ratification of the Constitution by the 13 colonies.
11 YEARS
20 yeas before the declaration of independence.
Ten years
The Declaration of Independence was written during the summer of 1776. The Constitution of the United States of America was written during the summer of 1787. If my math is correct, then eleven years passed between the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the writing of the Constitution of the United States of America.
