The Gettysburg Address, the US Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence were all written in Pennsylvania, making it a crucial stage in the formation of the United States of America. Pennsylvania, officially known as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, played a key part in the newly created Union.
The Commonwealth is represented in all legal proceedings in the state. It was established in 1681 when the British monarch granted land to William Penn, making it one of the 13 original founding states of the United States. In 1787, Pennsylvania became the second American state to adopt the United States Constitution, which was created in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall.
