The beginnings of the United States Federal Government can be traced to the [[First Continental Congress]], which was held during September and October of 1774. However the [[United States]] wasn't established until the Colonies separated from England, which was effectuated by the [[Declaration of Independence]] on July 4, 1776. The Congress then took upon the duties of governing the unification of the States in the ensuing [[American Revolution]]. In 1881 the colonies ratified the establishment of an official government. The [[Articles of Confederation]], as it was called, was flawed and didn't last long. It led to the [[Constitutional Convention]] by which the States revised the Government to its current form. The [[Constitution]] and [[Bill of Rights]] were written as a result of the convention, and used as the format for the new government.
