Background of the Constitution

With the war at an end the American colonist free from the British. One great reality struck them: we are now our own country and must come up with rules and rights for our citizens. At this time the Mississippi was the border of territory owned by America, the treaty stated such and that they would become their own country in time together. The Second continental congress would eventually become the birth place of our rights and where the Constitution was born. This congress however was not really ready for the things it was about to face or how to come up with anything to make this freedom successful. The new constitution was born in 1787. Both peace treaties were signed in Paris, France. The Paris that we think of now is so much different from the one back then. When we all get the chance to go there we should stop and think this is the place where my freedom was born.
