Primary Source

The primary source I chose was the Constitution of the United States. This document was created and signed during the Federal Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. Instead of trying to revise the previous articles, the members attending the Convention decided, through many debates and discussions,  they would draft an entirely new Constitution. This document is a primary source* because it was written during the Federal Convention and signed by the attendees of that same event. It
 is also a primary source because it was the first official release of this document. This source's origin is June, 1787, United States.

*Ok, so taking into consideration all technicalities, the picture of the Constitution I have on this post is not the real document, so it is not the actual primary source. Just clearing that up.
