I disagree. The constitution was fought against by many groups. Despite the Federalist Papers arguments for the Constitution, there were people who hated it so much they wrote the Anti-Federalist papers AGAINST it. Personally I believe the most important event would be the writing/signing of the Declaration of Independence declaring the US's separation from England.
