The us. Constitution was drafted in 17 87 and ratified in 17 88. The bill of rights, the first ten amendments were created in 17 89 for a bunch of people who objected to federalism. And then there were 17 more amen ments that were just created and passed over the ears. So buckle the hell up, as i now deliver to you on a silver platter, albeit ever so slightly petined, but still cherished - all 70 591 words of the united states constitution.
