I chose 1786 instead of 1787 for the writing of the Constitution....

Extra credit... when was it ratified... m/d/y

hint... my son was born 203 years later

Hmmm, I would guess 1791 as the year, but I have no clue about the month and day.....

After binging it, it looks like I am off on the year too. However, it would depend on the definition of ratification. The final state to ratify it was Rhode Island on May 29, 1790.

Then I think the people had to approve the Ammendments in the Bill of Rights, which could very well have been in 1791....
