As part of Constitution Week, the ILLINI chapter of NSDAR (National Society Daughters of the American Revolution) has requested that area newspapers publish the following:
“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.”
These words, written 230 years ago, are the Preamble to our Constitution. Next week, Sept. 17-23, is Constitution Week, set aside to celebrate the signing of this important document. Read beyond the Preamble to understand the structure of the three branches of our representative government. Study the Amendments and the Bill of Rights. Know your Constitution!
