The U.S. Constitution was signed by the Founding fathers and was later ratified a year later on June 21, 1788. The Constitution was made to make the 13 states more unified while creating a stronger government, it was also made to help protect citizens individual rights. The Constitution’s first part is called the Preamble and it states what the colonist wanted to have because Britain was putting laws that only affected the colonies. The seven principles of the Constitution are popular sovereignty, republicanism, federalism, separation of powers, balance of powers, limited government, and individual rights. These are parts of the Preamble to explain how the colonist wanted a little freedom from Britain.
