  • (U.S.) Constitution(美国)宪法

Why this is the answer

In 1787, delegates met at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and wrote the U.S. Constitution to replace the weaker Articles of Confederation. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and is still in use today. Remember: 1776 is the Declaration of Independence, and 1787 is the Constitution.
