License Plate Slogan of Connecticut

"The Constitution State" is Connecticut's license plate slogan, tracing directly to the Fundamental Orders of 1639 — a governing document drafted by the Connecticut Colony and widely regarded as the world's first written constitution. The phrase became Connecticut's official nickname in 1959 and reached standard passenger plates in 1974. This profile appears in the list of U.S. license plate slogans.
