Outcome of the emancipation process of the Thirteen Colonies, the Constitution of the United States was soon discussed after the victory against the English settlers. On that occasion we had the formation of two factions divided between the federalists and republicans. The former preached the strengthening of central power in order to preserve the political union of states. The Republicans, however, believed that the autonomy of states could not be submitted to the central government. It was impossible to establish a judicial system.

Interested in seeking the balance between the two tendencies, the American constitutional charter ended up being formed by a restricted series of articles. Created in 1787, the document paved the way for the American states to have autonomy to elaborate a series of laws that would come to deal with subjects of a more specific nature.
