On September 28, 1787, the Confederation Congress formally approved the newly drafted Constitution, marking a pivotal moment in the formation of the United States government. After months of debate and negotiation, the document was sent to the states for ratification, setting the stage for a federal system of governance. This decision followed the failure of the Articles of Confederation and represented a bold effort to create a stronger, more unified nation. The outcome would shape the political and legal landscape for generations to come.
