What happened at the Signing of the United States Constitution

After months of debate at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, delegates from twelve states finalized a new framework of government to replace the weak Articles of Confederation. On September 17, 1787, thirty-nine delegates signed the completed document, which established a federal system with separated legislative, executive, and judicial branches, along with checks and balances among them. The Constitution required ratification by nine of the thirteen states before taking effect, a process completed by 1788. It went into operation in 1789, later supplemented by the Bill of Rights. The document remains the foundational legal charter of the United States government.
