Did you know today is Constitution Day? Did you know ‘why’ it’s today??? Remember this?
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Read the entire Constitution HERE.
Why is it today? It’s to commemorate the actual signing of the Constitution in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787.
HERE is a great website that has links to all the relevant documents. Worth the time to peruse it… Just sayin…
THIS really was the document that cemented our way of governance, and started us down the road to the success we have today. Contrary to what a lot of the left wing loonies say, as far as I’m concerned, it’s good to go as is, along with the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independance…
Yes, the Constitution’s just fine, as is. Heck, these days it’s practically unused!
Thanks for putting this out there! Before it becomes illegal to do so!

I swore to uphold the Constitution against all enemies; foreign and domestic.
Already took care of my share of foreign enemies, I wonder when the time will come for domestic ones?
As an aside, three books in my BOB; a KJV Bible, the Boy Scout Field Book, and a pocket copy of the Constitution.
There should be a required class in every high school in the country, that is about nothing but the Constitution. Every student should be required to pass the class before being allowed to graduate.
Might as well celebrate Magna Carta day for as much bearing as it has on our day to day government.
Navy91, I had that class in 1959, middle school, I got a 95% on the test. Why it went away, the communist run the schools now.
Rev- Sad but true…
gfa- One DOES wonder some times…
SPE- Not a bad set of choices!
N91- Agreed!
McThag- Sadly I can’t disagree… dammit…
Ed- So did I, but I don’t remember what I scored (but I KNOW I passed)!
+1 on taking a class in school (but I’m old).
Not a comment I don’t heartily agree with.
The post was pretty good too. 🙂

The Hillsdale curriculum is very good. We get their free mailings monthly, and I subscribe to their podcast. I recommend.
Excellent Shipmate!
Sadly, its all just words on paper these days.
All- THanks!
