In March of 1776, prior to the Declaration of Independence, South Carolina created an individual constitution to provide a governing body during the time of rebellion. The Constitution of 1776 established the former colony's first independent government. In this document, the South Carolina General Assembly discusses its grievances with Great Britain and outlines its new government. It is not for certain who was the architect of this document.
