1781 · The First Constitution

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.

Name Meaning

English: habitational name probably from Halsey Farm in Sharnbrook (Bedfordshire), whose medieval spellings lack H- but which has been influenced by the adjacent wood, which was once called Haselho but is now also called Halsey. However, the early examples suggest that another as yet unidentified place (or places) may also have been a source.
