Today's Historical Moment
... Happy Birthday, U.S. Constitution ...
... Happy Birthday, U.S. Constitution ...
On this date, September 17th, in 1787, the U.S. Constitution was born (was approved by lawmakers). 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.
This week's Pre-Pledge Tribute tells more about the birth of the U.S. Constitution - like how old it is and it's Preamble.
