Overview
Why was the Constitution made? The Constitution is very important. During this time in history America just started being a free country and as a new country they needed new rules to follow. So, that means that the Constitution was made to show the people of the new country the new rules. It mean like when a person turns 18 and moves out of their home because they are independent they have to live by a different set of rules. America has just turned 18 years old and has made up her mind to move out the house (Britain). But now that they don't live at home the rules are different but they must make new rules and that's what the Constitution is; a rule book for the people of America.
