Two hundred and thirty-three years ago, in 1788, the United States Constitution was ratified into law and the United States of America was truly born. In the centuries since, our most cherished document has been the blueprint for countless constitutions written throughout the world, as autocratic rule has lost its luster among Earth’s people.
