On this day in 1787, 42 of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution.
No matter how much we argue about the details of its meaning today, in the opinion of many, the Constitution signed in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787 represents the greatest expression of statesmanship and compromise ever written. In just four hand-written pages, the Constitution gives us no less than the owners' manual to the greatest form of government the world has ever known.

Thanks for this timely post and
Constitution was the 'fulfillment' of the dream, the Declaration of Independence. Let's all value our
Bill of Rights especially and the First Amendment in particular, for without the first one, all the others wouldn't be possible. I'm proud to hold faith with my commission to still uphold the Constitution, and not to parties or people in power, but the the Constitution itself.
Pay your taxes yet, Rich? You have the privileges, take the responsibility.
