The Connecticut Constitution were a professional ultimate team based in New Britain, Connecticut. They were one of eight teams to take part in the American Ultimate Disc League's inaugural 2012 season. The team was in the Eastern Division of the AUDL. They played their first game on April 14, 2012, defeating the Rhode Island Rampage 29–23.[1]

On July 5, 2012 the Connecticut Constitution announced that they would be suspending all team operations as the result of financial strain assumed during a lawsuit filed against the Constitution and Rhode Island Rampage by the AUDL.[2] On July 11 the organization lifted the suspension for the remainder of the season.[3] The team did not return for the 2013 season, and officially folded.
