Deleware was the first. I thought it was in 1789, but one of the other answers said 1787. That may be correct as well. Then each state ratified it after that. The original 13 colonies did so within a few years of that. After that, each state, as it joined the union ratified it. Most recently, obviously was Alaska and Hawaii, who didn't join the union until the middle of the 20th Century(exact years not known off the top of my head).

The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the United States of America. It was adopted in its original form on September 17, 1787 by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and later ratified by state-selected delegates representing the people of the several states. When delegates in nine of the then thirteen states ratified the document, it marked the creation of a union of sovereign states, and a federal government to administer that union. It took effect on March 4, 1789

It was written in 1787 but it took a few years for all the states to ratify it. I believe it was finally ratified in 1789.

ratification by Deleware and Pennsylvania in 1787. I am not sure, but I think Rhode Island was only ratified in 1791.

1787, and it says nothing about separation of church and state.

1776 was the declaration of independance, probably the same time.
