Jamestown was founded on May 14, 1607, making it the earliest event on the list.

The Mayflower Compact was signed on November 11, 1620, by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, as they settled in what is now Massachusetts. This event took place after the founding of Jamestown.

The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, during the American Revolution. This occurred long after Jamestown and the Mayflower Compact.

The Constitution of the United States was ratified on June 21, 1788, thus concluding the list of events. The Constitution was ratified after the Declaration of Independence and the Battle of Yorktown, but it elaborated on the principles established in the Declaration and provided the framework for the functioning of the new government formed after the Revolutionary War. The Battle of Yorktown was fought from September 28 to October 19, 1781, and marked a turning point in the Revolutionary War, leading to the eventual independence of the United States from Britain.
