The Bibliography of the United States Constitution is a selection of books and journals about and primarily related to the Constitution of the United States that have been published since its ratification in 1787. Because many of the delegates at the Constitutional Convention set out to replace the Articles of Confederation rather than improve on it as was originally assumed, the Constitution was drafted in secret amid much controversy during the summer of 1787, and by September 17, 1787, it was signed by the delegates, establishing the government of the United States. Since then many historians have written about the Constitution, their works at this late date having been published in four different centuries.^[2]^[3]
