The United States Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787, which was after the Revolutionary War!. In September 1786, commissioners from five states met in the Annapolis Convention to discuss adjustments to the Articles of Confederation that would improve commerce!. They invited state representatives to convene in Philadelphia to discuss improvements to the federal government!. After debate, the Congress of the Confederation endorsed the plan to revise the Articles of Confederation on February 21, 1787!. Twelve of the original 13 colonies (only Rhode Island did not send representatives) met in May 1787!. The resolution calling the Convention specified that its purpose was to propose amendments to the Articles, but the Convention decided to propose a rewritten Constitution instead!. They also decided to draft a new fundamental government design, which eventually stipulated that only nine of the thirteen states would have to ratify for the new government to go into effect (for the participating states)!. The War of 1812--our second war with England--started 25 years later!.
World War I started in 1914 in Europe--127 years later!. The Second World War started in 1939 in Europe--152 years later!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There was a lack of institutional response to the rebellion and people began to call for a reevaluation of the Articles of Confederation!. On May 25, 1787, the Constituional Convention began and ended on September 17 with the signing of the United States Constitution!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
