1787?
I thought it was in 1783...
Maybe that was when it was written, and then ratified in 1787?
Either way, it didn't exist as THE document until it was ratified, definitely not 1776.

The United States were organized in 1783 under the Articles of Confederation. These were poorly drawn and weren't effective, as became evident almost immediately, and the Constitution was subsequently drafted in convention in 1787 and ratified in 1789.

Wasn't the income tax instituted by the NWO when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
