(The day the Constitution was ratified)(On June 21, 1788, the Constitution became the official framework...) of the government of the United States of America when New Hampshire became the ninth of 13 states to ratify it. The journey to ratification, however, was a long and arduous process.
Until the new Constitution was ratified, the country was governed by the Articles of Confederation. That document was tailored to a newly formed nation made of states acting more like independent, sovereign countries, and it quickly became clear to some of America’s leaders that future stability required a stronger, more centralized government. New York’s Alexander Hamilton thus led the call for a constitutional convention to reevaluate the nation’s governing document.

Dear white house,
It was in that constitution that it was laid out only what that centralized government could do. If it was not in the constitution and the amendments to follow, the federal government could not do it.
According to that constitution citizen joe biden is not president. The Congress has been derelict in its duty to arm and train its citizens. The president exists only to ensure that Congress creates and passes laws in accordance with the constitution.
The president of these United States is President Donald J Trump, commander-in-chief.

The way the liberals are taking after the Founding Fathers for slavery? "Sinners" would be more appropriate in their eyes.
Haha! At first, I thought that might have been “sinners” misspelled-I had to look twice...
