    Which government? There wasn't really a US government before the constitution. There was a provisional government. I understand they had laws, too.

    I don't know how far back into history you have to look to find an ungoverned people. Do you know of any?

    I worded that weirdly, but I'm referring to every government I've read about. At least ones that arose after the classical Greeks. Unless I'm wrong, I think the revolution of the US Constitution was that it was the first state with an actual constitution with restraints on government.

    I miiiiiight be wrong on this, but I don't think so: the constitutional revolutions overthrew monarchies with technically total legal power.
