But it did exist before the Constitution even for our Nation, but each state had it's own rules/laws. The Constitution wasn't passed until about a decade later than the birth of the Nation, in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence. But the Constitution did give Congress the power to define a uniform rule for it.
It existed in various forms in other nations well before ours came into existence.
