The longer, somewhat more precise answer is... 1  Between 2 and 5 days, depending on a number of factors. 2  This also requires us to define fully recover.. For the purposes of this questions, let's keep the definition simple and focused on things we can easily observe:

That government started on March 4, 1789, taking the place of the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution of the United States is the oldest federal constitution now in use.
