The United States Constitution is one of the oldest constitutions in the world. It is the
base in the development of the U.S government and the land laws. Originally formed in the
eighteenth century, it now leads more than two hundred and sixty citizens of America after going
through twenty-seven amendments. Formation of the constitution has not been that easy as along
the way there have been very many ups and downs. In the year seventeen eighty-seven, there

vote.
The constitution resulted in a weak congress as some of the states which were suspicious

development of the amendment. States, therefore, were free to make their own laws despite
conflicting with the laws from the other states. It was not easy for the Congress to protect itself
