Abstract. The study analyzes foreign policy issues in the process of ratification of the Constitution of 1787 in Georgia. The unanimous decision of the state elites in support of the introduction of the federal system adopted on January 2, 1788 was a result of the combination of foreign policy threats and the "isolation" of Georgia in the US state construction. The adoption of the basic law text in the state firstly stimulated the discussion of foreign policy issues in Virginia and New York and secondly prevented a possible change in the foreign policy mechanism developed at the Philadelphia Convention.
Key words and phrases: генезис внешней политики США, Джорджия, Конституция 1787 г, ратификационный процесс, Филадельфийский конвент, genesis of the US foreign policy, Georgia, Constitution of 1787, ratification process, Philadelphia Convention
