Constitution for the Provisional Government of the United States

The Provisional Constitution for the United States, formally the Constitution for the Provisional Government of the United States of North Aegea, was an agreement among all eighteen States in the United States that served as their third (albeit temporary) constitution. Its drafting by a committee of twelve appointed by the Provisional Congress began on February 5, 1718. The Provisional Constitution was formally adopted on February 8. Government under this constitution was superseded on January 1, 1720, by a new constitution and permanent form of government organized on the principles of the United States’ first two basic laws, those being the Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union (1481) and the Federal Constitution of 1489; this new basic law being the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for the United States.
