USS CONSTITUTION. The Constitution--called Old Ironsides because cannonballs could not penetrate her tough oak sides--was one of the first of the original six frigates that made up the U.S. Navy. A 44-gun frigate built at the Edmond Hartt Shipyard, Boston, MA, in 1797.
The Articles of Confederation: predecessor to the U.S. Constitution and drafted from Anti-Federalist principles. Anti-Federalism refers to a movement that opposed the creation of a stronger U.S. federal government and which later opposed the ratification of the Constitution of 1788.The previous constitution, called the Articles of Confederation, gave state governments more authority.en of these amendments were immediately ratified and became known as the Bill of Rights, with one of the other two becoming the 27th Amendment âalmost 200 years later. Thus, while the Anti-Federalists were unsuccessful in their quest to prevent the adoption of the Constitution, their efforts were not totally in vain.
