The Declaration of Independence was written and signed by the Continental Congress first in 1776. Next came the Articles of Confederation which was ratified by the 13 colonies in 1781. The U.S. Constitution was then signed and ratified in 1787. Then the Bill of Rights or the first ten amendments to the Constitution were added and ratified in 1791. Therefore, the order is 3,4,1,2 or D.
Articles of Confederation - Ratified March 1, 1781
United States Constitution - Ratified June 21, 1788
Bill of Rights - Ratified December 15, 1791
The Declaration of Independence asserted the independence of the American colonies from the British. Then the Americans needed to win the War of Independence in order to establish their own country.
The Articles of Confederation were the initial plan used for the governing of the United States. Those articles were then replaced by the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights (Amendments #1-10 to the Constitution) were added shortly after the Constitution itself was ratified.
In his study, Turiel interviewed children using hypothetical situations that resembled the types of struggles raised by the real-life events. The way that these children reasoned was very similar across real and hypothetical moral issues. Thus, we can say that children's ability to tell whether a character in a story has violated moral rules develops at about the same time as their ability to understand them in real life.
