Answer 1

Connecticut is nicknamed the "Constitution State" primarily because it created the first written democratic Constitution, known as the Fundamental Orders of 1638-1639. This document established a framework for government and is often considered one of the first written constitutions in modern history that created a government based on the consent of the governed.

So the correct response is:

**It created the first written democratic Constitution.**
