It was as early as 1789 when the first American constitution was drafted and duly signed by the several states of the country. With the constitution being put into effect throughout the country, the citizens of the nation vowed to take the United States of America to new heights and make it the best country on the planet. Over the years, the various subsequent governments and the American people have worked side by side and together to strive towards the set target. The goal was achieved, and the situation remained so for several decades.
