The US Constitution was written in 1776.  There have been alot of modifications (amendments) since that time but are you referring to just amendments during that five year period?  If you could be a little more specific, I could help you a whole lot more.  Oh yeah, and don't forget  about The Bill Of Rights.  Maybe even just as important.  To keep corruption out of the executive branch (you know--the checks & balance system) that's going to hell as we speak?  or rather write........

The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the United States of America. It created a federal union of sovereign states, and a federal government to operate that union. It replaced the less well-defined union that existed under the Articles of Confederation.\n\nDuring the Revolutionary War, the thirteen states first formed a very weak central government—with the Congress being its only component—under the Articles of Confederation. Congress lacked any power to impose taxes, and, because there was no national executive or judiciary, it relied on state authorities, who were often uncooperative, to enforce all its acts. It also had no authority to override tax laws and tariffs between states. The Articles required unanimous consent from all the states before they could be amended and states took the central government so lightly that their representatives were often absent. For lack of a quorum, Congress was frequently blocked from making even moderate changes.

From The Declaration Of Independence\n\nThe unanimous Declaration of the United States of America,\n \nWhen in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.\n \n--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. \n\n-But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-\n\nFrom The Constitution of the United States:\n\nArticle. I.\nSection. 8.\nTo provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;\nTo provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, \nand for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, \nthe Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;\n\nSection. 9.\nThe Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.\n\nSection. 4.\nThe United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE\n\nFrom The BILL Of RIGHTS\n\nAmendment II\nA well regulated militia, being necessary to the Security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. \n\nAmendment X\nThe powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, \nnor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or TO THE PEOPLE \n\n\nShould American Citizens take arms up against ILLEGAL\nAliens? \nAnd Force them from our country? \n\nIf Our Government Doesnt Resolve This\nWe May Have To (Article 1 - Sections 8 and 9)\nIt Is Our RIGHT And Our DUTY As American Citizens \nTo DEFEND Our Nation Against Invaders\n\nAs It Is Our RIGHT And Our DUTY \nTo Remove The GOVERNMENT\nWhen Our Government Is Not Acting In The Best Interest Of Our Nation (Article 1 - Section 4)\n\nThats When Amendments 2 and 10 Come Into Play\n\nDont Believe Me??? Read The Words I Typed Above ^

Wrong, wrong, wrong, and huh? \n\nThe Constitution was most likely hand-written by the secretary, Mjr. Jackson, who was chosen by the delegates on the first day of the Constitutional Convention of 1787. There was a final sub-committee , the Committee on Stile and Arrangement, that was organized to create the final draft, but I cannot find that there was anyone else appointed to write it. It was ordered printed, which would generally mean that the secretary was to print it. I do not find anything in Madison's notes to indicate that anyone else did. However, I do not have any notes reporting the proceedings of that committee, which might indicate that someone on that committee was appointed to provide the final draft. It is unlikely that such a report exists, since all the proceedings were done in secrecy. However, a look thru the LOC website might prove otherwise.

That's a long list.... instead of giving the answers, I'll give you a link to study.....\n\nBut to answer quickly....\n\nThe constitution was put into effect in 1789, it does serve the people by making "Expo Facto" laws illegal, provide postal service to all citizens and divides power among 3 branches of government just to name a few. It was made even more powerful for the people when the bill of rights (the first 10 amendments) was passed and the amendments were ratified.

Not George Washington!  He also wasn't the 2nd, 3rd, 4rth...\n\nIn 1781 Maryland signed the Articles of Confederation, creating the 13 state union.  John Hanson, who signed for Maryland, was immediately elected president of the assembly (chosen unanimously by Congress).  Hansons formal title was "President of the United States in Congress Assembled".\n\nGeorge Washington even addressed Hanson as "President of the United States".  After Washington became president Hanson sent him a letter of congratulation.  Washington replied, addressing the letter to the "President of the United States."\n\nMaybe y'all should know a bit more history before blasting off rude comments, eh?\n\nGreat question!

The Constitution was “penned” by Jacob Shallus, a Pennsylvania General Assembly clerk, for a fee of $30 \n\nJames Madison, “the father of the Constitution,” was the first to arrive in Philadelphia for the Constitutional Convention. He arrived in February, three months before the convention began, bearing the blueprint for the new Constitution.\n\nGouverneur Morris was largely responsible for the “wording” of the Constitution, although there was a Committee of Style formed in September 1787.\n\nBenjamin Franklin needed help to sign the Constitution. As he did so, tears streamed down his face.\n\nJohn Adams was serving as the U.S. minister to Great Britain during the Constitutional Convention and did not attend. \n\nFrom 1785–1789, Jefferson served as minister to France. He did not attend the Constitutional Convention.
