Contrary to history books, the United States of America didn’t begin functioning as a nation on July 4, 1776. It was a gradual process beginning with discontented colonists in the 1760s, to acts of defiance until war broke out in 1775, followed by the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and finally the Constitution as passed by the constitutional convention on September 17, 1787. It took until June 21, 1788, for the Constitution to be ratified. At that time, Congress set elections to take place from Monday, December 15, 1788, through Saturday, January 10, 1789, with the new government to begin on Wednesday, March 4, 1789.
