The history of writing and adoption of the US Constitution in 1787

# data[].attributes.body
The United States of America can be proud of the fact that this country's constitution is the oldest of all existing constitutions. Moreover, it consists of only 4.4 thousand words, which is extremely small for such a document, and since its adoption in 1787 has not undergone significant changes.

Amendments 1-10 are called the Bill of Rights. They make more explicit the limited nature of the federal government's power, and guarantee a long list of rights to the people.

Amendments 11, 12, 16, 20, 22, 25, and 27 all clarify procedural rules in the operation of the three branches of government.

Amendments 13, 14, and 15 are called the Reconstruction amendments. They were all passed after the Civil War to guarantee equal rights regardless of race and to help the former slaves.

Amendments 17, 19, 23, 24, and 26 all expand the right to vote to new groups of people or expand the right to be involved in certain elections without state interference.

Amendments 18 and 21 represent America's failed experiment with prohibition, where all alcohol was banned, and then re-allowed.
