Today is Constitution Day. On September 17th 1787 members of the Constitutional Convention signed a magnificent and lasting document; one for the ages.
While we have added a number of amendments in the years since, the core principles of the Constitution remain embedded in our heritage:
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.
