  • Constituion of United States

    Constituion of United States
    I choose this effect date of the constitution because that is the date the United States started to work under a new government.
    the Confederation Congress established March 4, 1789, as the date to begin operating a new government under the Constitution. This Happened because the United stgates was a new nation and they needed some form of government. This has effected the history of american by regulationg how we can function as a Nation.
