document, provides important rights to every citizen of the
United States and sets the standard of democracy for the
world; and, the subsequent 27 amendments to the Constitution
outline the freedoms and the principles of representative
government that are as strong today as they were on that
momentous occasion in 1787.
3)September 17, 2012, marks the 225th anniversary of the signing
of the Constitution of the United States, which is the supreme
law of the land and the document by which the people of the
United States govern this great country, and recognizes the
sacrifices made by the people who made the signing possible.
