5. A brief look at “Perceived” American history 1776 America sends the Declaration of Independence to the king telling him they no longer need his services. During the war representatives (Franklin, Jefferson) write up the constitution. When the war ends in 1783 the constitution is ratified and the american governmental system was fully established.

6. When in fact... - The war officially began in 1775, a year before the declaration was sent. - The constitution was actually not begun until well after the war. - Before a constitution the Articles of Confederation were created in 1777 and ratified in 1781, loosely holding the colonies together. - after years of debate a constitution would be proposed and finally ratified in 1789. - Finally after 2 more years of constant politicking the Bill of Rights would be added to the Constitution.
