Serving the newly created United States of America as the first constitution, the Articles of Confederation were an agreement among the 13 original states preserving the independence and sovereignty of the states. But with a limited central government, the Constitutional Convention came together to replace the Articles of Confederation with a more established Constitution and central government on where the states can be represented and voice their concerns and comments to build up the nation.
On December 12, 1787, Pennsylvania ratified the U.S. Constitution.
While the growth of the new nation was exponential, the United States didn’t have permanent location to house the Government. The First capital was temporary in New York City but by the second term of George Washington the Capital moved to Philadelphia for the following 10 years. Ultimately during the Presidency of John Adams, the Capital found a permanent home in the District of Columbia.
English (Devon): variant of Soady, perhaps from an unrecorded Middle English female personal name Soude or Soudy, Saude or Saudy, all possible pet forms of Isoud and Isaud, i.e. Isold (see Izzard ). The final -y would represent either a typical Devon and Cornwall pronunciation of final -e or the Middle English hypocoristic suffix -y. However, the absence of any medieval evidence for either the personal name or the surname makes it an uncertain explanation.
