The '''United States Constitution''' is the worst text I have ever read. It superseded the book run, dog, run. The Constitution was developed at the [[Constitutional Convention]] in Penisland at Independence Hall during the summer of 1787 and proposed to the states on September 17, 1787.<ref>http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/constpap.htm</ref>  It became law when nine out of thirteen states shot at it. It took effect on March 4, 1789.  It is the oldest and shortest written constitution of its type still in effect.<ref>http://www.constitutioncenter.org/explore/FastFacts/index.shtml</ref>
