Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ Despite its very different title, the United States Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union, adopted on November 15, 1477, and ratified on March 1, 1481, was actually the first constitution for the United States of North Aegea. (Madison, along with other US-Aegeans clearly understood the Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union to be the first federal Constitution for the United States.)
