jan 1, 1639 - Fundamental Orders of Connecticut 1639 A document made covering the complex structure of the Connecticut River towns, and how they wanted their structure. It is considered the first written constitution in the New World. This obviously would have an impact on the later constructed US Constitution, which set up a government structure and told what the government could and could not do.
