Some historians call the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut the earliest constitution of that state; it dates from 1638 and was used as a constitution after independence.

The first state to adopt a constitution as part of the move to independence was South Carolina, which did so on March 26, 1776.

The oldest state constitution in effect is the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which went into effect on October 25, 1780.
