The Constitution of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) was drafted by the Micronesian Constitutional Convention in 1975 in Saipan. The Convention was convened by the Congress of Micronesia, which at that time included representation from the Ponape, Kusaie, Truk, and Yap Districts of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI), and which also included the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Northern Mariana Islands Districts.
The FSM Constitution was ratified in 1978, with the voters of the Ponape, Kusaie, Truk, and Yap Districts approving the Constitution. The ratification of the Constitution by these four districts recognized their sovereign right to form the Federated States of Micronesia and make the FSM Constitution the supreme law of the land.
