Happy Constitution Day!

"Constitution Day commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution by thirty-nine brave men on September 17, 1787, recognizing all who, are born in the U.S. or by naturalization, have become citizens." http://www.constitutionday.com .  "The U.S. Constitution established America's national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights for its citizens." http://www.history.com/topics/constitution . "The United States Constitution is the world's longest surviving written charter of government." http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/ConstitutionDay.htm . "Empowered with the sovereign authority of the people by the framers and the consent of the legislatures of the states, it is the source of all government powers, and also provides important limitations on the government that protect the fundamental rights of United States citizens."   https://www.whitehouse.gov/1600/constitution .
