September 17, 1787 - At the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, delegates from twelve states voted unanimously to approve the proposed U.S. Constitution.

This was a historic event for a multitude of reasons. This was important in American history because it influenced the system of government we would later shortly adopt in this country. It was significant because it provided stability for the country after a very weak and shaky articles of confederation. This constitution not only influenced our nation, but also the rest of the world. The world at that time didn’t think the idea of a democratic country would work and before the constitution they were proven right. But the constitution created a strong nation that the rest of the world would soon come to respect and even fear. The constitution allowed for the United States to rise as a global superpower. I appreciate this event because it created a stable foundation for the country I live in.
