Constitution Day

...

A bit of trivia for ya'll.

The United States Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. The U.S. has been observing Constitution day since 2004. This year, the Constitution turns 220.

How many of ya'll remember School House Rock? How many of ya'll can still sing the Preamble of the Constitution? (Raises hand.) How many of ya'll can recite the Preamble of the Constitution? (Raises hand.)

We the People, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, to 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 of the United States of America.
