On this date, September 17th, in 1787, the U.S. Constitution became law. The Constitution is the "supreme law" of our land. It's also what our military service members and government officers swear to 'support and defend' in their 'Oath of Office.' At the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, delegates from twelve states voted unanimously to approve the proposed U.S. Constitution.
And, its Preamble states:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, 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.
