Connecticut State Nickname
The Constitution State
Connecticut is often referred to as the "Constitution State," a nickname that dates back to the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, a colonial constitution that is considered one of the world's first written constitutions. The Fundamental Orders were adopted in 1639, and they outlined the government structure and powers of the Connecticut Colony. This historical document is often seen as a precursor to the U.S. Constitution, earning Connecticut its notable nickname. The state's commitment to constitutional principles and its role in shaping early governance contribute to the enduring significance of the "Constitution State" moniker.
