Questions: The Colonies at War Which important document was written at the start of the War of Independence? The Constitution The Declaration of Independence The Articles of Confederation

The answer is The Declaration of Independence.

The Constitution of the United States was not written at the start of the War of Independence. It was drafted later, in 1787, and ratified in 1788, after the war had ended. The Constitution established the framework for the federal government and is considered the supreme law of the United States.

The Declaration of Independence was written at the start of the War of Independence. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. This document announced the thirteen American colonies' separation from British rule and justified the colonies' right to revolt against the British government. It is one of the most important documents in American history, marking the formal beginning of the United States as an independent nation.

The Articles of Confederation were drafted during the War of Independence but were not completed at the start of the war. They were adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777 and served as the first constitution of the United States, but they were not ratified by all thirteen states until 1781. The Articles established a confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, which was later replaced by the current Constitution.
